Joey was baptized on November 11th. He was soooo excited!
Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworth were able to come all the way from New Mexico for the event.
It was a very sweet day for me. There were 7 kids getting baptized in the stake that day, so there were a LOT of people. The chapel and the over flow area was full. James and Sam sang a special musical number. It was an arrangement of "Come Follow Me" and "How Great the Wisdom and the Love" that I wrote for the event. (Which made me crazy, but nevermind that.) It was so precious.
After the baptism Joseph was asked in Sacrament meeting how he felt while he was being baptized. He said he just felt "really peaceful." I felt really peaceful too. I was relieved, *whew* another one safely in the protection of Jesus' atonement. But one person did not feel peaceful AT ALL. Guess who?
Danielle screamed bloody murder when he went under the water. She couldn't understand how we could let him drown like that. (She never saw him come up cuz she was too busy pitching a MAJOR fit and they closed the curtain.) Kind of nice to know you are loved, I guess.

You didn't mention how sick you were that day but you still went, accompanied the duet before hundreds of people and worked to make Joey feel loved and special. We are glad we were there.
I wish you could video the boys singing the song and post that!!! I hope Joey is feeling better now after his surgery.
Congratulations, Joey!! We're sooooo proud and happy for you.
