Wow, what an amazing day we were blessed with. Kadin has been getting the missionary lessons for the last couple of months and he was baptized and confirmed last Saturday, May 17th at the Moore Stake Center.
The opening song was "I Am a Child of God" followed by the opening prayer given by Chandler Webb.
Elder Ramos (from Brazil) gave a talk on Baptism. Kadin was then baptized by Grandpa Webb, they had the water rather low in the baptismal font so Grandpa had to get him pretty low, Kadin forgot to plug his nose so he came up coughing and spurting. But Grandpa was great and got it done.
A talk on the Holy Ghost was given by Elder Ward (from Mesa, AZ) followed by a musical number "When I Am Baptized" by the Gammetts. The confirmation was also really special from Uncle Jeff. After the confirmation Grandma Colleen had some words of wisdom that made us all cry, again. She told Kadin how proud she was of him and how to make the right decisions every time before you ever leave home. She told him that Heavenly Father has held back these special spirits for this generation to fight and battle off all the evil for all of us. After Grandma's talk the Mackay Bishopric welcomed Kadin to the Ward. The closing song was "Teach me to Walk in the Light". And last, but not least was a beautiful closing prayer by Kelly who made us all cry again. What a spririt was in the room for this event.
Kadin had so much support from Grandma & Grandpa Wall, Grandma & Grandpa Webb, Melissa and Kevin, Ashley and Hagen. Stetson and Andra worked and didn't make it until the dinner at our house. Also at the baptism were Jeff, Lois, Chandler, Heather and Jared's Family, Chris and Hydee's Family, the missionaries, Keith McBride who is our home teacher, and other members of the Ward and Stake.
The day was our first really beautiful Spring day (in the 80's) so the dinner was full of fun, food and sun. Thanks to everyone for a really outstanding day.

Wow Kadin!!! We are so proud of you! :-) Sounds like you had a great day. I wish I could have been there. But you were on my mind and I was there in spirit. You have made a great choice to be baptised. Remember the sweet feelings you have felt these past few weeks and they will help you when times get tough. You have such a loving and supportive family... even those of us stuck down here in Arizona *wink*. We love you and are so happy for you!
With smiles,
