Hannah's Baptism - August 20, 2017

We are so proud of Hannah and her decision to be baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  It was a beautiful summer day - with only 1 glitch!

Jon & Jack had spent the night before at a scout campout.  Jon promised to be home by 9 a.m. at the very latest.  The baptism was at 10 and we needed to be at the Stake Center by 9:30.   9:00 came and went and I hadn't heard from him.  He finally called about 9:29 and had just gotten cell service.  Apparently, they were coming back from the campout and ran into thousands of sheep on the road.  It was literally the only road out of where they were and the sheep were not moving.  Jon tried to yell at the cowboys to find out what to do but he only got a "No habla English" reply.  He had no cell service and was basically stuck.  As an answer to prayer, just as he was about to turn around (after waiting there about an hour), a truck came up behind him and told Jon this had happened to them before and you just have to start driving through them and then they'll move.  Sure enough it worked!

Jon literally walked into the Stake Center right at 10:00.  Had that prayer not been answered, he would have missed it and I wouldn't have known what to do?

After that, the rest of the day was wonderful.  There was such a sweet spirit at the baptism.  Emily gave a talk on the baptism and Mandy (my sister-in-law) gave a talk about the Holy Ghost.  Lindsey played a beautiful piano solo.  Heidi (Hannah's BFF) and Julie (our family friend) said the prayers.

Hannah was baptized & confirmed by her dad.  We love you Hannah and are so very proud of you!
We loved and appreciated all the amazing support from both sides of our family!
