Baptism Day!

Karson turned 8 on Friday, August 21... was baptized Saturday, August 22... and attended the Oquirrh Mountain Temple dedication on Sunday, August 23... a busy, memorable weekend for Karson!

Karson was very excited to be getting baptized... she prepared (met the requirements, knew the commitment she was making, met with the Bishop, met with the Primary, found a dress and shoes, took pictures, invited family to come, asked her aunts, grandpa, and uncles to be part of the program...) She was ready!!!


And then... she woke up Saturday morning sick! really sick! throwing up sick!... but she wanted to get baptized... She was "sick" in the car on the way there, she was "sick" during the program, and she was "sick" after... but she is now a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!


We are really pleased with Karson's decision to get baptized. Karson is a special daughter and we admire her and love her a lot. She is a great example to her brothers and sister. We want her to know her family loves her.



Family in attendance for Karson's special day:

Mom, Dad, Brody, Bennett, Kourtney, Grandpa and Grandma Wilcken, Tueller family, Spencer, family, Ashlee, Catelyn and Addison, Melissa and Clark (Side note: Charlie was in the Hospital really sick with a high fever, and Leo was with him... it was an emotional weekend...)
