FHE on Baptism

Yesterday after church was "It's Great to Be 8" night for the primary kids turning 8. I can hardly believe that my sweet baby Ethan is part of that group, but I have until June to accept that reality. It was a wonderful night where the children were taught the importance of baptism, why it is so special, and then got to see the font. At the end each child was given a towel with their name on it, and a book for them to keep reading and learning all they need to know before they get baptized. During the meeting each child was challenged to give a family home evening lesson on baptism. Ethan is always ready and willing to help in any way he can for family home evening, and was so excited.

Here was his set up. His special towel, the notebook they gave him, scriptures, and a true or false game. The true or false game was so awesome. He wrote 4 things on different strips of paper about baptism and we had to guess if they were true or false. He is such a fun kiddo.

Here are a few of the participants.
It was a great night and we all learned something new. Ethan is a great teacher and I am so proud of him. At the beginning of the month he made a goal to read the whole Book of Mormon by his baptism, and I am so proud of how hard he is working to get it done.

Also, Luke still isn't walking and has an appointment tomorrow with the Orthopedist.
