Hunter's Baptism

We gave the Hunter the choice to have his baptism in Maryland and Utah. It was a HUGE decision for him. Ha it was funny. 
He finally chose Utah after feeling very bad for his "Poor friends in Maryland who won't be able to see the Baptism."  He really wanted Grandmas and Grandpas to be there.
It was a really nice program. 
 Here's a few of the things from the program:
Opening prayer: Grandpa Forman 
Talk: Baden (his cousin) 
Musical number: Hanna sang the Baptism song 
Talk: Hunter 
Talk: Jon  
Closing prayer: Grandma Harris

He chose to give a talk because he saw his friend her give a talk at his baptism.  He told himself that if Ryan could do it, so could he.  He planned a little bit but when it actually came down to the day, he had 3 questions written down on a piece of paper.  Why am I getting baptized?  What does being submerged in the water mean? and What did I learn from seeing Ryan get baptized?
Out of those 3 questions, he gave a 10 minute talk.  It was amazing. He was confident and bore his testimony that he was doing what he knew was right and told us why. I was so proud of him. What a great example he was to all of us!
