Baby Blessing

It's been a while since we have written anything. This past couple of days seem to have flown by. I guess they do when you have a new baby. We had all the family here this weekend and we were lucky enough to have a great Bishop who came to church on conference weekend to have the blessing. For those of you who don't know conference weekend is usually the 1st week of October and April where the leaders of our church including the prophet speak to us. This conference is broadcast throughout the world to all the members of the church and there are 5 meetings, 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. During this week we don't go to our regular meetings that is why we are so glad our bishop was willing to come to the church to do the blessing. A baby blessing in our church is a little different then what most church's do. It is not a baptism, it is a blessing that is given by worthy male members who have received authority from Jesus Christ. Blessings are promises given by our Heavenly Father to those who have faith and live worthily. We had a great time having the fam all over and visiting with everyone. It has been such a long time since we have seen everyone together. The blessing went off smoothly and I think the pictures speak for themselves.
