February 11, 2012

was a very special day for the Willis Family

Kaden turned 8 years old

and was baptized on his Birthday

Its been a very busy weekend!  Kaden turned 8 on February 11th.  He made the choice to get baptized.  When I say that Kaden made the choice, he truly did.  He understands what it means to be baptized and he understands that he is accountable for the choices that he makes.  Kaden is a good kid and a great example to others.  He is caring and kind and always wants to do his best.  

Last week in fast and testimony meeting he bore his testimony...which in turn was testimony building to me.  He testified that in the Book of Mormon it states that if you choose the right and keep the commandments then you will prosper in the land but if you don't keep the commandments then you will be cut off from God.  He also said how excited he was to get baptized so that he can be a memeber of the church and have the Holy Ghost with him always.  His testimony is solid and sure.....I anticipate him being a great missionary in the future. 

Kaden has been reading his scriptures both with the family but also on his own.  He is now to the book of Jacob.  He tells me the stories of the Book Of Mormon after he reads, so I know that he is understanding most of it.

I am so proud to be Kaden's mom and to have the joy of watching him grow both physically and spiritually.  It is an honor.

Also on February 11th,

Kyler was blessed!

After the baptism and blessing we were able to celebrate Kaden's Birthday with family and friends.  We are thankful for the support everybody showed to our family that day.  It truly meant a lot to our family.
