Juan Carlos Figueroa Baptism

Carlos turned 8 years old on January 28th and this meant that he was able to go to scouts with his best friend Kaleb. Doesn't he look handsome in his uniform?
Here Carlos is showing me how he is going to salute the flag now. I'm so glad they have the scouting program. It has helped make great young men awesome men.

Carlos on his special day. He was a bit nervous but yet excited all at the same time.


Carlos and his Dad right before the baptism program started.

Of course, I noticed we didn't have Grandma in the picture above so, why not just have Carlos with his Grandma and Grandpa on this special day that they have helped make possible.


All the kids at Carlos's baptism (except Sean, he was too shy). From left to right, Michaela, Ben, Jon, Carlos, Kaleb, Carson, Devin, Dillon, Thomas, and Tristan. Take a look at this, Michaela is the only girl.

We had two special visitors, Curtis and Sue Hall, who went to the wrong church but come over after Carlos was baptised to give him a very special gift. They have a great story they found in the Friend a long while back about the Holy Ghosts other name, the comforter. Carlos is sporting his new "comforter" which he was confirmed with just hours before. Here is the story for those who would like to use this idea for those special 8 years old on their baptism day.
