Baptism

It is a very exciting night for Easton tonight. For the past couple months he's been talking about getting baptised but he wanted to do it when grandma got here. I had mixed feeling about it. A part of me was extremely proud, happy, and excited for him and the other part of me wondered if he really understands and I want this to be something he will always remember. Sunday night we went to a family night at church . It came up and I expressed to Bro. Chad my concerns. He said he would talk to him and see if he thought he understood and if he was ready then we could decide. After about a 15 minute conversation, he came out and said,"that dude is ready!!" =) He asked him why he wanted to be baptised and Easton told him because Jesus was and he wants us to be too. Then Easton went on to tell Chad that he wanted to get baptised to tell everyone he believed Jesus died on the cross for him and for everybody. Easton has such a great heart and I just pray that he will keep his love for Jesus always! I am so grateful to FirstWest Fairbanks(formerly Fairbanks Baptist Church) for the seed they have planted in my son. There are such wonderful people who unselfishly give up so much time to teach children about Jesus. I will be forever thankful!!
