Tonight we went with Luke to the Stake Baptism Preview. He was so excited that he had a "meeting" to go to. It's usually Matt or me that are off to another "meeting", so he thought he was big stuff. He said "what if one of my friends calls and wants me to play and I have to say sorry I have a meeting!" He was so cute. It is SO hard to believe that he is going to be old enough to be baptized this year! CRAZY! Where does the time go? This was the cutest and most entertaining baptism preview. The kids were soooo excited and they were saying the funniest things. My friend and I were wishing we had a video camera there to video all the innocent, cute comments. Here's a few that I remember...
At one point the Stake Primary President asked why we need to be baptized and one little boy raised his hand and started with this story about how if we don't get baptized then we won't have the spirit and we need the spirit to keep us safe...one time his mom was at the church and she was getting ready to leave. The spirit told her to stay...so we are all thinking this is a sweet story, but then he goes on.....BUT she ignored the spirit and then she got in a car accident! His story went on and on! It was pretty funny. The the Primary President says "Oh that is a horrible story!" And under her breath she says, "I don't know why I let that one go on!"
Then she asked what are some sins that we need to repent of....here are a couple of replies
- Tackling our mom
- Hitting our brother and then smashing his face in the driveway
The best was when she told them that if they memorized Mosiah 18:10 and John 3:5 then when she came around for ward conferences then she would bring them a candy bar. ALL the hands went up and they asked: When are you going to be at my ward? What time? What size candy bar? Chocolate? King size? And they went on and on wanting to know all the details :) I love this age!
I am so excited for Luke to be baptized. He has really grown up the last little while. He is so helpful at home, he talks so mature, if he does something wrong, or gets mad at me, he will come up to me shortly after and apologize! I love him so much and am so thankful to be his mom!

WE are so proud of you, Luke! What a great decision you have made to be baptized. I remember when your mom made that decision. She was very excited also. Love you!
Dear Luke,
Congratulations on your decision to be baptized into Heavenly Father's church. It is a very exciting time, isn't it? Did you know that Morgan and Kate are getting baptized soon, too? We are so proud of you and the wonderful young man you are becoming! Always obey Heavenly Father's commandments and you'll be happy...we promise!
Luke you are an amazing young man and I am so lucky to be your aunt! What a fun year this will be for you. Love and miss you!
Oh my heck, I am laughing so hard at those comments! Tackling your mom? Smashing your brother's face in the driveway? Hilarious.
It's weird to think that he's old enough to be baptized. Time is starting to go by so quickly. Sheesh.
When's his baptism date? Is it in April or May?
Luke's baptism date will be the second Saturday in May...I think that is May 8th.
