Austin's Baptism


On April 30, 2011 Austin was baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
I can't believe I am old enough to have a child baptized! Austin had so much support from family, friends, and ward members.
Lindsey, Austin's aunt, played the piano for us, and his Grandma Carpenter led the music. His grandfathers both gave talks about baptism and the gift of the holy ghost, and his Grandma Gray gave one of the prayers. Austin listened to everything that was said and gave answers when he was asked.
Sometimes when you least expect it something comes completely out of the blue. Here is a little backs story:
Last Christmas we did a white elephant exchange with Travis' family. I was the lucky winner of adult size batman underwear, yay!
So, the bishop was talking to Austin about being a member of the church and what an honor it was. Austin decided this was the perfect time to tell the Bishop and EVERYONE in the primary room that his mom had batman underwear. I was so embarrassed! I was bright red and couldn't say a thing. It's a very good thing that our bishop is a good friend of our because if not we may have been called in to answer a few question.
After Austin was baptized and confirmed we all went to eat at Golden Corral. Austin loves this place because he can eat as much as he wants and it's all free. . . haha
