Ian's Baptsim Talk Sunday 5.13.12









When he gave the talk he was kinda yelling into the microphone.
I was getting cross but was trying to hold it together.
WE talped the talk and it was a disaster.
It was sweet to think that Ian was there at his baptism and that 
and later telling people about it..
Baptism
When my mom and dad were first married, my dad was not a member of the church. He loved that my mom had good values and that she went to church but  he swore that he would never join my mom's church.  He said that  if he did join a church he would be a Lutheran.  After 2 years my mom and dad decided to have a baby and when I was in my mom's tummy, my dad started to go to church with my mom to learn about the Bible.   Every week he began to feel the Holy Spirit stronger and stronger.  One day he told my mom he wanted to join our church.  He began to meet with the missionaries and learn more about the basics of the church.
Then after a few weeks he decided to get baptized.  The baptism was scheduled 2 weeks after I was going to be born.
I would like to think that because of me & the Holy Spirit...my dad was baptized so that he could have a better life for himself and for our family.
When I am eight, I know I will do what my dad mom & Jesus did and get baptized.  I love my dad and am grateful that I have a loving family who will teach me the gospel just as the missionaries did so that when I am baptized,  I can feel the holy spirit to help me to know what is right.

My mom told me I better choose the right until that day comes or I will be sorry.  So far she has been right.
I say these things in Jesus name amen.
Here was the talk
