Jaron was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on August 21, 2021 with his 2 cousins Landon Edwards and Owen Goold or as we like to call them the J-Lo's. We were happy we were able to coordinate them getting baptized together since they are just 2 weeks apart and they were baptized in Riverton with my brother Jeff conducting.
Jaron did a musical number 'When I am Baptized' on the piano that he practiced quite a bit the weeks leading up to it. He did such a good job as there were a lot of people there. Shane baptized and confirmed him and Siena and Aria got to be witnesses.
Christy and some of the Brian's were able to watch via zoom...which is a nice addition that has happened since Covid. She got some pictures of my dad giving the talk. He had all the mom's come up here and put their arms around the boys and compared that to the feeling and guidance the Holy Ghost will give them. I thought it was a cute analogy.
It was a special day and one that I know Jaron has been preparing for a looking forward to for a long time. For the year before he kept asking me if I was still going to be the primary president when he got baptized. He really wanted me to so the 'primary president' could come visit him and tell him all about being baptized. Grandma and Grandpa Goold gave Jaron their traditional embroidered towel in red of course for his favorite color.
After the baptism we went to Whitney's parent's home for lunch and some swimming and it was a fun afternoon just being all together (even though not everyone could be there.)
I took some pictures of Jaron at the Mount Timpanogos temple a couple weeks before and I made a cute invitation to his baptism from the pictures. They turned out cute....and some silly ones too of course.
Jaron is such a light and joy to our family and we are so happy to celebrate this special day with him.
