Conner's baptism

Conner and dad

Our little family these days.  We sure missed having Ashley, James and Ronan; Brittany, Bronson, Brinley and Reagan; and Alison with us!!

Conner's School teacher Mr. Simms came to his baptism.  He came a little late, right when Conner came out of the water.  But he got to see the rest of the program.

All our friends that came to the baptism.

Conner

With Mr. Anthony Simms
Parker gave the opening prayer.  Conner's primary teacher Sister Leila Muñoz gave the talk on Baptism.  We had a musical number "I am a child of God" by Conner, Daniel and Haley Larson and Miriam Penrod.  They did a good job!  Then Brent baptized Conner.  Brother Michael Wilson 2nd counselor in the Bishopric gave a talk on the baptism.  Then the confirmation of Conner by Brent. Then Sister Heidi Larson gave a primary message and Sister Yaremi Olvera gave him his Faith in God booklet and she also gave the closing prayer.  After we were done we were talking to Mr. Simms Conner's teacher and he said a few words to Conner.  He told him that getting baptized was really good. He said "I am going to tell you something now that I can not tell you at school because we can't talk about religion at school".  He said "School is important but God is more important.  God will always be there for you".  I thought that was really neat of him.  He is not a member of the church and it was very nice for him to come.  He likes to go to the kid's activities.
