A 8 year old girl in our ward was baptized last night. I thought it would be good to take Brenton to it. I spent part of the day trying to explain to him what a baptism is. I explained that when someone is baptized, they are baptized by immersion. This means that they are put all the way under that water. After a couple of good conversations regarding baptism, I thought he had a small understanding of what he would watch that evening.
Once we were dressed in our Sunday best, we headed to the church. Brenton asked me again where we were going. I told him to the church for the baptism. He got these HUGE eyes and said, "MOM! We can't go! I forget my goggles!"
I once again explained that you have to be eight years old to be baptized, and this wasn't his baptism. I guess I need to be more diligent when it comes to teaching my children gospel topics.

Funny! All summer Mikayla has talked about the bath and the pool as "Baptised" Tough connection to make at that age I suppose.
