Case baptism







This day was wonderful. Case has a large support group who loves him. The Spirit was the strongest when he was encircled by the men holding the Lord's priesthood power to pronounce upon him the Lord's gift of the Holy Ghost. I marvel at the much symbolism in these ordinances. One that came to mind at this experience was how powerful it is for the young and unlearned to be surrounded by men of honor to help teach, love, and mentor his personal journey. I think of the hymn, "Brightly Beams Our Fathers Mercy" when it speaks of the sacred duty of Priesthood holders. Tom tells me that Case during the blessing decided to look up. Tom thought to himself of how typical that was of Case's personality and also expressed how funny it was to have his hands and the rest of the priesthood holders hands resting on his Case's face rather than the top of his head. I love those memories and I love the gift of the Priesthood and I love worthy holders of God's power. It is my deepest hope that my boys will develop to be worthy holders of God's power and therefore anxiously engaged in rescuing and saving.
