congrats mayson..

Yesterday {march 28, 2009} I attended my nephew Mayson's baptism and 8th Birthday. What a special day it was for him:) The baptism went well and mayson had the biggest smile on his face, it was so sweet. I was chosen by Mayson himself to give the talk on the "spirit of the holy ghost". I had prepared a talk, planned on mayson coming up front with me and my words being directed to him. I even got him a gift (a journal) I wanted him to open in the end of my talk in front of everyone. When I got there they had squeezed in another baptism for a new convert of the church at the same time as mayson's. I was a little nervious because I only had one journal to give. The other little 8 year old boy was named Eric, his family was new converts to the church. I had to kind of improv and include him in the talk too. I ended up giving the gift I got for Mayson to Eric. I just had too, it seemed right. So, I.O.U. a journal mayson:) The two boys were darling and new all the answers to my questions I had prepared. They were so happy and proud to be there. The boys had such a wonderful spirit about them and it just lighted you up being in their presence. It reminded me of my personal baptism and the special spirit I felt that day. I can't believe that was 12 years ago for me. Anyways, CONGRATS & HAPPY BIRTHDAY MACE DOGG!! I LOVE YOU, - Aunt Janika
