A Baptism Date .. .. ..

We spoke with the missionaries when we were at Church today they will be coming over again on Tuesday. It seems they have been thinking and praying a lot on our behalf.

One of my main aims was to get the boys to be prepared for Baptism. Well we have now set a date for both of them to be baptized!! We are aiming for the first Saturday in May! (May 6th)
The missionaries said that since the boys are still young they do not need to have the same level of understanding as adults do so they can be baptized earlier than I believed was possible!

So it looks like we have a lot of preparing to do. They still need to learn a lot more and I know the missionaries will help us with this. Although my first thought after they suggested a date (they originally said the last Saturday in April) was we need white clothes! My goodness we don't really have any but that isn't a problem. But as Mark pointed out to me once we got home is that we don't need two sets of white clothes it's three!!

I am worried about what my Dad will think. It's one thing living here and being able to go to church without him saying anything. He has always been against my being baptized as a Mormon. I'm worried that our relationship which has been really good of late will be jeopardized when he hears about the boys being baptized. Mark said that I shouldn't let that bother me and that we shouldn't hide the fact that we have been going to church. He's right but I don't want Dad to end up being annoyed with me. Especially since we are closer than we've ever been.

I'm still excited about the boys being baptized though. I just don't want to mess things up with Dad.
