Rychen Parker's Baptism


Congratulations, Rychen! 
He chose to be baptized, which means entering into a covenant to follow Jesus and accept his atonement. It was a great day with lots of family and all of us participated in one way or another. It was really nice that we got to make our own program and plan some really nice musical numbers. I'm so thankful for the testimonies and great examples of all four grandparents (and several great grandparents)--really we are pretty lucky to have that! Thank you grandparents for all you do, and for raising Rychen and me the way you did.
