Hyrum is now the BIG "8". He has been
preparing for this special day for a long
time. He was excited to get his first "real"
set of scriptures, engraved with his name
courteous of the BYU bookstore and now
wants to do his own personal scripture
reading each day.
We were very fortunate to have Dave's parents come over from Perth for his baptisim, the Lekias family from Perth. Unfortunately, the Gharrings were caught in a snow storm and were unable to make it from California in time. This spiced up the program becuase Trent and Rachel were going to give a testimony and talk and that had to be changed very quickly. We have made some beautiful friends here in Provo also and were extremely grateful that they could also come to help make Hyrum's baptisim real special.
One funny thing that happened was the mixup of Chapels. We arrived early to get things ready, checked the baptimal font to see if it was running....check! But nobody was arriving and when we spoke to someone we realised we were in the wrong stake centre!!!!!! So we drove the whole 150m to the next Stake centre to find some rather stressed people waiting for us. (There was going to be a baptisim straight after Hyrums and we had to make it short and sweet!!) I guess you can't be late to your own baptisim!
I asked Hyrum what the best thing about his Baptisim was and he said..."going into the water and feeling the Holy Ghost."
The Brick Oven.
We ate there the night of Hyrums Baptisim.
It was a very yummy night.
Hyrum paticularly liked his free desert.
At the wrong
Stake
Centre!!
Liddicoat family after the baptisim. We missed out on pictures of Hyrum and Dave in all white as they had to go straight in and get ready.
A proud moment for mum.
Our Provo Baptism experience.
Two handsome boys!
