DRESDEN'S BAPTISM & CONFIRMATION---May 1, 2010

Before the baptism/Dresden and Larry

Dresden and his friend Spencer were baptised in our Stake center (our ward house). Dresden's family participated in the first half of the program and Spencer's family conducted the last half. Grandma Bertha gave a wonderful opening prayer, Aunt Natalie played a beautiful rendition of the First Prayer and Nana Donna gave the talk on baptism. Spencer's Uncles performed the baptism and gave the talk on the Holy Ghost(being confirmed). Then Spencer and his brothers and sisters sang a song and Samantha(his sister & one of my favorite Y.W) gave the closing prayer. I could feel the spirit there and was very proud of Dresden and Spencer.
