Saturday we had the awesome opportunity to witness Nate's baptism. He is such a good kid and was so excited for this day, so excited in fact that he was TROUBLE with a capital T. We are glad that we could celebrate this day with him and feel his sweet spirit. This was a mass production kind of baptism but they split it up into 2 different time frames so it wasn't so crowded. We had the 9am time and that was probably a good thing so that Nathan wouldn't have to wait any longer. Derrek had the opportunity to talk on Baptism and did an awesome job. When he was baptized he was the only one so he got to choose who gave the talks, what songs were sang and so forth. When we asked him to give this talk for Nates, he gladly accepted. When the chapel began to fill more and more he soon realized that it was not just our family but the family and friends of 7 other kids there. He got soo nervous but he did a wonderful job. The funny thing is, Drew's name was on the program to do the talk so it was quite the surprise when Derrek went up to do it. After the baptism we went ot a park for a brunch and had a good time there visiting with everyone. We really appreciate all of you that took time out of your Saturday to travel and come support Nate in his day. He was so excited to have all of you there and we loved seeing everyone that came. Congratulations Nathan, we love you. I apologize for the lack of picture taking, I am not good at remembering this and then come to regret it big time.

Congrats Nate! I wish you were still in our ward and that I was there to see it. What a good choice you have made, I'm really proud of you!
Congratulations Nate! Time sure does fly! Best wishes to all of you!
Congrats to Nate!! We are so sorry we couldn't be there. At least we sent your mom back just in time to get there.
Can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!
