David & Jared's Baptisms

We have had lots of things to celebrate these past 2 weeks. On Saturday, April 12, my twin nephews David and Jared were baptized. They are 8 years old and made the decision to get baptized by their dad. In our church we do not baptize infants. We wait until they are atleast 8 years old to be able to make the decision to be baptized. We also do baptisms by immersion (under water)-the same way Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist. It was such a special event to see these little guys following in the steps of Jesus Christ. There was a very sweet and special feeling there.
You could feel the excitement that Jared and David carried with them. Can't you tell from the looks on their faces? :) How fun to have your best friend and brother at your side when you make such a special and important step in your life?! Congratulations boys! Thanks for letting us share such a special day with you.
