PRESIDENT GORDON B. HINCKLEY

"To you women of today who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many-now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings"

Conner's Baptism



Conner was baptized August 8th by his dad in the Draper Utah Mountain Point Stake. People in attendance: grandparents, kevin, nicole, beth, carrie, vanya, kate, anne, kathleen, and Liane. We invited our neighbors, the Palayos, who are non-members. They asked me to give a talk on the Holy Ghost. I made it pretty simple and focused on how to identify the whisperings of the Holy Ghost. Just as I was closing my talk. I looked down toward Conner and he was wiping tears from his eyes. I couldn't believe it. He felt the spirit and it touched him. I didn't cry until then. Good thing it was at the end of the talk.
Max was very wild during the meeting. I took him out in the hall while the other kids were being baptized. I didn't notice that they called Conners name to go to the font. Everyone gathered at the font- but not me, Max and Lilly. My neighbor Cheri noticed that I wasn't there and stopped the ordinance from taking place so someone could come get us. That would have been TERRIBLE if i missed conners baptism.
After the baptism we made the move to CHUCK-A -RAMA. One of Conner's favorite places to eat. It was perfect. Since the day before the baptism was busy (Lagoon), and there aren't very many people in our family- going out to eat was perfect.
