Baptism Day

  Keagan's baptism went great!  Keagan is very loved, we are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends and were so grateful they spent their day with us even if it was from afar.

 Keagan's baptism was very unique for a couple reasons. We got special permission from the area 70 to have her baptism performed at home and via WebEx meet.  Ironically a couple days after we got our approval the Church came out and let all members know this (live streaming) was going to be how baptism will be done during this challenging time of Covid.  It was kind of exciting that Keagan was one of the first ones in our area and we were asked to take notes and share so that others can know what things worked or could be done better. We were also given special permission to have Keagan's baptism done at home because of Grandpa Vance's heart health issues plus the high risk of Covid.  They felt outside would be safer for germs than in a church building.  

  Bishop Hayden also had a special gift for Keagan.  He had visited the Jordan River and had brought back a bottle of its water.  (He boiled and filtered it so it was safe ;) He gave some to Keagan to put into her baptismal fount, this made Keagan feel so special and really made her ponder on how she was following Jesus example and taking upon her his name.

  Because of everything we weren't able to have a party or luncheon so we sent everyone home with sack lunches.
