Spring Break 2010 - Conors Baptism

Conor and his cousin Bryant wanted to be baptized together while we were all together. They both turned 8 recently. It was a very sweet program and we're grateful for everyone who participated and helped make it the beautiful service it was. We are so proud of these two and the decision they've made to follow Jesus. I am so surprised at their age how much they know and understand about what it means to be baptized. The Lord truly knew what he was doing when he said that this is the age of accountablity. In my eyes Conor is still just my baby. But he truly understands and desires to follow Christ. I asked him the next day if he felt different and his response was, "I felt different the second I got out of the water!" I hope he'll always have the desire he has now to choose the right and always remembers how he felt on this special day.
Conor likes to tell people that he was baptised in the same font that his daddy was.

Sweet picture.

Tom said that whoever smiles for the picture would get a treat so our nephew, Avery jumped in and smiled big. I think Tom owes that kid a treat!

This is Conor with his Massey side of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins who were there. We took a professional pic of his McDowell fam that morning so eventually we'll have that one.
