Jonathan's Baptism
Jonathan was so excited for his baptism day to arrive. Grandma Schorr gave him a "comforter" which he loves to have closest to him at night. I loved watching him sit with Bishop Palmer and talk about being baptized. They sat in the Palmer's back yard rocking and talking so comfortably that I still have a picture of it in my mind. We discussed baptism with Jonathan and it was definitely his decision. We talked a lot about what he would be promising and they would be required to do. Fasting is something that he struggles with, and every week he asks if he has to fast. The first time around he only made it to the middle of sacrament meeting when he need a drink desperately and then ate treats it class. The second time around he made it to lunch, which we are viewing as totally awesome for this kid. We love Jonathan's need to understand and his curious nature. It was a wonderful experience to be with him during this special time.
