Paxton's Baptism

 June 10, 2017: Paxton's Baptism Day!
Making the choice to become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  So proud of Paxton's decision and loved the Spirit we felt to be part of his special day!
Kaden gave a wonderful talk on Baptism and Versii sang "When I am Baptized" along with a group of Evan's siblings and cousins.  It was a beautiful day!
 Paxton and his Dad.

Our family.

 Paxton was excited to share his special day, with his friend, Evan, who is our Bishop's son.

Aunt Ann and Uncle Gary brought Paxton such fun and thoughtful gifts each referencing scriptures:
 A Flashlight: 
"Let your light so shine before men." Matthew 5:16
 Tape Measure:
"With what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you."
Matthew 7:2; Mark 4:29; Luke 6:38 + 3 Nephi 14:2
 A Screwdriver Set:
"Paxton, Congratulations on your Baptism.  May you always be an effective tool in the Lord's hands to bring about much good.  Love, Great Uncle Gary and Great Aunt Ann"
A Necktie:
"The Nephites did not wear costly apparel, yet they were neat and comely. (Comely means: Pleasing in appearance, attractive, fair)" Alma 1:27
