Last Saturday Ethan got baptized. What a great day we had. We are so proud of Ethan and his decision to get baptized! Erick and Ethan went over to the church right after lunch to clean and fill the font. I think that was really good for Ethan, because he was able to see it and know a little of what to expect.
We had a short program in the chapel and then headed outside to the font.
After Ethan was baptized, I walked into the bathroom with him and he was giddy with delight.When they walked back into the chapel all the young women and kids came up to Ethan and each gave him a candy lei. You should have seen the look on Ethan's face! He felt the love that the members of our Hanalei branch have for him, and that was priceless!
Then, when it was time to get confirmed and Ethan went up front, guess who was right there next to him...Izzie! Brother Colburn, who was conducting said, "Ethan, that is what it is like to have the Holy Ghost... a constant companion." ( :
Here is the newest member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Hanalei Branch and his sister! We are all so proud of you Ethan. We love you!
Aloha!
