Koby had a wonderful Baptism and it was definitely filled with the Spirit. Mikaela got to play the piano before, after and while Koby was changing. She did an amazing job and even played a piece that she made up. I gave the opening prayer and was so overwhelmed that I couldn't even get through it without tearing up. G&G Skousen were chosen by Koby to give both the talks. Grandma gave a great talk on Baptism with the Baptism Bear and Grandpa gave a special talk on the Holy Ghost. We sang as a family and Matt almost couldn't finish the song. Matt did a wonderful job in his blessing. We are so grateful to have a worthy priesthood holder that brings the spirit into our family. We had so much love and support and were so grateful for everyone who participated and came. I am so proud of my eight year old. He is truly a special spirit and Matt and I both felt that he is here on earth for a very important reason. After he got in his suit - that had to have a flower in it - he came and gave me, Mikaela, Kai and Karsten all a kiss. The tears came quickly again. We love you Koby!
The missionaries were the witnesses. We are so lucky to have them in our home often and to be close with them.
