Connor's Baptism was very special.  He got baptized on his birthday so that everyone could be there before we moved to Arizona the next day.  Before Connor's baptism day we had a lesson on baptism and I told Connor I wanted it to be his decision and to pray to see if he should do it.  After our FHE Lesson Connor came up to me and said, "Mom, I feel so happy that I could cry" I told him that was the Holy Ghost telling him that it was the right decision.  His baptism meant so much to him, he loved his baptismal gifts even more then his b-day toys.  He has such a good heart and strong desire to do what is right.  He has been promised to do some great things, so hopefully I can help him reach his potential! I love you Connor and have never been so proud to be your mom!
