Bode has been looking forward to getting baptized for a very long time. He'd been talking about it for months and genuinely was so excited. The day finally arrived and it was such a great day! All of his grandparents were able to attend and some of his cousins and aunts and uncles as well. He also had friends and primary teachers come to support him. It was a perfect spring day and I think he felt a lot of love.
Bode was the only one to be baptized from our ward that day, and he was the first one to be baptized in the stake. Before they split our stake, our ward always went last because we are the 12th ward! It was sort of a fun surprise for him to get to go first.
After his baptism we had lunch at our house with family. We kept it low key with sandwiches from Jimmy Johns (Bode's favorite) and just enjoyed the beautiful weather. Bode played in a soccer game later that afternoon and scored a pretty impressive goal with his grandparents watching. It was such a nice, relaxed, happy day. I am so proud of Bode and his choice to follow the Savior!
