Rex's Baptism

Rex's Baptism Day

On April 10th, 2010 Rex was baptized by his father Les. It was an amazing day. We were blessed to have many of our family and friends join us for this great event. It was fun to watch Rex enjoy and understand the importance of the day.

Highlights of the day

- Grandma Isabel giving the opening prayer.

- The High Counselor in charge of the service asked the baptismal candidates to come up front and look over the audience. Rex came up and waved to the crowd in true Rex fashion.

- Witnesses cousins Ian and Jon - because both of Rex's grandpas have passed away Les asked him who he would like to have as his witnesses for the baptism. He thought about it and decided he would like his two cousins that were going on missions to serve as the witnesses. It was very tender to watch this two young men who were soon to leave on their missions witness this baptism realizing that within several months they would be preaching the gospel in Argentina and Brazil.

- Watching Les baptize Rex.

- Singing hymns as we waited for the confirmation.

- The amazing circle of men that surrounded Rex. The amazing women in the audience that have had a wonderful influence on him.

- Beautiful confirmation and blessing by Les

- a great celebration afterward with friends and family.
