We woke up to a glorious, HUGE breakfast that Dane made while we were all still sleeping. This guy is awesome.
Next, sacrament meeting with the families.
And, no, I probably shouldn’t be taking pictures during the prayer. But tell me this little guys isn’t the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.
I couldn’t help myself.
Dane taught the Gospel Doctrine class…
and even had the missionaries help.
He is such a good teacher…and SO handsome!
Afterwards the kids came back from their classes and we got ready to go home.
The ladies made us another lovely feast.
Merrick chose to postpone his “birthday” cake until we came to visit, so we gave him our presents too and had a mini birthday party for him.
Then we headed back to church for the whole reason that we came to Arkansas…
Merrick turned eight…
and today was his baptism day!!
So proud of this sweet boy and his family.
Josh did the tech stuff so the folks back home could tune in.
April and Lily…
were in charge of the music.
The Bishop spoke.
I spoke too, but there is no physical evidence. Thank goodness.
What a wonderful day. Congratulations Merrick!
I sure do love these people.
