Porter was Baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on August 3rd, 2013. Despite the way some of these pictures look it really was a great day. Porter was super excited to be able to have his turn getting baptized, after seeing Logan and some of his friends do it, he was glad to finally do it as well.
We had Grandma and Papa Bishop, Grandma Peterson and Nate and Jami and their kids all here for it. We had a lot of friends from our current ward and old ward come and some friends from Brandon's work.
Jami gave the talk on baptism and then Porter asked our primary president if she would be willing to give the Holy Ghost talk and she did. I had 3 of my Young Women sing "I'm trying to be like Jesus" and it was just a really great day. I feel bad that I didn't take any pictures of the decorations or anything like that because it all turned out really cute!
So at the beginning of the Summer Porter told me he didn't think he wanted to get baptized. He said he wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do. I then told Porter that Heavenly Father wanted him to get baptized, but it was something that he needed to pray about and find out for himself if it was true, and what he thought he should do. So had prayed about it, I prayed for him about it and a few days latter he came up to me and told me that he knew that he should get baptized. I hugged him and told him that I knew it was the right thing for him to do too.
I love my little Porter! He is still a ball full of energy and just always wants to have a good time. He is smart, fun and kind to those around him. He's an amazing brother and he loves being a brother!! I'm so grateful for all he does for our family and for the joy that he brings into our home.
