So Alex and Bobby have been friends since 6th grade. Together they are usually trouble. They do things like spill plants, make a fake bloody mess on the front porch, oh yeah, the sling shot in the back yard, fire in the garage. Good times. But I think the best thing to date was yesterday's baptism. Bobby has had the missionary discussions a number of times. In fact, his sister got baptized last fall. We love Bobby and even if he never chose to be baptized, we would love him. He recently joked that he better get baptized-it was a financial decision, because tuition at BYU is double for non-members! We have been very blessed with two of the most impressive missionaries I have seen in our stake in 10+ years. I am so grateful to them for being a good example to Alex. I think it was the end of December when they showed up at our door and ask Alex if he would challenge Bobby to be baptized. Pretty scary for 16 year old kid. We counseled Alex to fast and pray so when he met with Bobby and the Elders he would be prepared. Things must have gone well, both boys have been fairly quiet about it. So yesterday, dressed in white, they walked into the font together, best friends in the world and Alex baptized Bobby! This has been the best missionary experience I think you can have living here in the Salt Lake Valley. We have loved getting to know these cute missionaries and share this great experience with them. They are doing amazing work here. I think they have had a pretty busy month of baptisms! Anyway, these are our favorite moments from yesterday and a couple from earlier on.
