Braxton's Baptism







Oh how time flies!!! Braxton was able to be baptized the day after his eighth birthday! He was baptized by his dad and confirmed by his Grandpa Denning. Braxton's Grandma Denning gave a wonderful talk on the Holy Ghost and Braxton listened intently to her throughout the entire talk. He was able to be baptized with his good friend Hunter. Both boys faces showed a lot when they entered the font. One of the heaters was broken and so the water was a little cold. His friend had to go down twice and he wasn't wanting to do that again. It helps us to be grateful for the advancements that have been made today. The pioneers were doing this in rivers and Lakes. I assume most of the time the water was probably not the warmest either. It is so nice that he has good influences with friends here. Braxton has had such a spirituality connection since he was just very little and you could feel this through the entire baptism. What a special day this was for our family. His Grandpa and Grandma Denning along with his Grandma Jenkins were able to come to his baptism. We also had so many friends from the ward come to show their support. We are proud of the choices that he has made in his life and is a definite example to his younger brother Isaiah. We love you so much Braxton.
