Baptism

On the 5th, Trav's good friend Kohana was baptised. It was really neat when Kohana let us know that he was taking lessons from the missionaries. Travis started going with him, and we would invite over to our house to read scriptures with us (which was prob. better for us than him!) A few weeks before his baptism he asked Travis if he would baptise him! Travis was so excited. It was a really neat baptism, especially since ALL of Kohana's family was there to support him, even though they don't believe in the church. (When I say all, I mean alot! Ko is Native American and they consider everyone to be their family). He is the famous shot taken before the baptism.

The three of us afterwards.

It was a really neat experience. I'm grateful that we have the chance to be friends with Kohana and that we were able to be at his baptism. It is a good reminder of why we ourselves are baptised, and makes me want to be closer to our Heavenly Father and feel that way I did on my baptism day all the time.
