Jarren Gets Baptized

Now that Jarren has turned 8 years old he is now old enough to be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This was a very special day for both Jarren and John. John getting to baptize Jarren is something I have been looking forward to for a long time. It was a wonderful and sacred moment for our family. We joined it with family and close friends together to witness this event. I am so grateful to all who were able to come and join us.

I am so proud of Jarren for making this decision to be baptized. He has had to grow up so much these past few months and come to learn a lot for himself. Jarren said a few days before being baptized that "By getting baptized I will be on the right path to seeing Jocelyn again one day". It just filled my heart.

After Jarren was Baptized we headed back home where we enjoyed a large family lunch to celebrate this special occasion.

It was such a beautiful day and my spirits were lifted that day. We are so grateful for such a loving and supportive family. I was so touched that day I could even feel Jocelyn's sweet spirit celebrating with us.
