my nephew is being baptised tomorrow!
firstly, i cant believe im old enough to have an 8 year old from the next generation in my life - im constantly reminded by my sisters to "can it" though. but it does blow my mind to think about meeting him as a brand new baby when i was in like ninth grade, i think... and now he is such a talker, the sweetest big brother, and a great example to the younger cousins.
the sweet kid asked me to be the speaker at his baptism too - the holy ghost, a myriad of things could be said. i especially like the notion of Comforter, that my Heavenly Father communicates peace and happiness and solitude through Him to me. that because He is a spirit He can speak to my spirit directly, in ways not even Colby, my mom, or best friend can. how blessed we are to have these occasions in our lives where we can remember the simplest of gospel promises, because we see the young ones we love committing to them.
children bring a very special spirit with them into our lives, and i love my nieces and nephews sooo much - and my awesome/strong/patient siblings for creating them and dealing with them day to day. i love this gospel because of the knowledge we are given that we will all be together always - even pete the spiderman impersonator extraordinaire.
