Maxwell's Baptism

Today Maxwell was baptized and confirmed by his dad, Kaleb. We are so proud of him for choosing to be baptized! We also can hardly believe that we are old enough to have our first child get baptized! The day started out like we had planned, up at 8, breakfast, frosting the cupcakes, and getting on Sunday clothes. Then we got a phone call and they said that the church had been double booked and that the font room had computers and wires and overheads and the whole church was that way because of a genealogy conference. They said that the first available font was not until 3pm. We said that just couldn't work for us as all of our family was already almost here and they had to travel for two hours - one way. The baptism was supposed to be at 10:30am and it was already 9:30. Luckily we have some friends that live out on the west side of town (yea! Jesse and Chelcie). So we called them and they called their stake and found out that there was an opening for their font from 11 - 12 am. So we said great! We called our bishop and family and friends and gave them the new address. By now we had all of the out of town family here at our house. So we had them follow us out to the church. We were only supposed to provide half of the program as the other child that was supposed to get baptized at 10:30 was going to have their family do the other half. So we hurried and asked family members to step-in and help. Thankfully, God helped everyone that we invited and needed to be there get there. We had a wonderful program and then Kaleb baptized and confirmed Maxwell. We had both grandparents there and aunts and uncles and cousins, friends, and Maxwell's primary teachers. After the baptism we came back here for some very yummy kalua pork (thanks to da Weights) with Grandma Debbie's rolls and very yummy salads (thanks to all fam/friends that brought them)! Even though we had a hiccup in the plans everything turned out great, as it always does when we put our trust in the Lord.
