Baptism...

Today my nephew was baptised by his father. This got me to thinking that the next child in my family that will be eligible for this blessing is my daughter. I took this opportunity to explain a few things to her...what baptism symbolizes, why we as Latter Day Saints are baptized, what immersion means, and the difference that baptism makes and signifies in our lives. She took it all in and devoured every peice of information that I gave her. She asked so many questions that it was hard for me to answer them all. In fact, I couldn't answer them all. Luckily, she can be somewhat appeased when I tell her that I will have to find out and then let her know.
Anyway, I had a very amazing experience during the confirmation of my nephew. I kept it to myself until my Mom and I were talking afterward. She asked me if me and my brother had felt our father's presence there. I immediately said, "Yes mom. I most definitely did! In fact during Braxton's confirmation I could literally see dad standing on the right side of Paul." It was not with my earthly eyes that I beheld my father. I know it was with my spiritual eyes because my eyes were closed and my head was bowed. I feel so blessed to have had this special event take place and to have it happen at Braxton's confirmation makes me think that there are some awesome things in store for that boy!
