Chan's baptism

We had a great day on Saturday! Chandler was baptized and confirmed. He is such a sweet, sensitive boy. But you could tell he was anxious to be baptized because during the talk before the baptism, he was so fidgety and had a hard time concentrating! I remember being the same way when Jan Bowler talked at my baptism! During the service, I was blessed to be given a little glimpse of a possibility for Chandler's future. In order to understand it, you have to understand how focused Chandler gets. For example, when he was two he was so into tools. He ate with them, slept with them, looked for them in every book we read, tore pictures out of magazines and news papers with tools in them and carried those every where. It was all he talked about. He has done this with Rescue Heroes, Star Wars, football, Legos, etc. The little glimpse I was given showed him being an amazing missionary and teacher because he was so focused on the gospel that it became part of him. I shared this little 'vision' with him and he was excited. His comment was, "Well, I do love to read my scriptures." And that is true. He finished the Book of Mormon all by himself just a few days before his baptism. He set the goal earlier this year to have it finished before he was baptized and he kept at it. I hope I can do my part as a mom to guide him to focus on the gospel so it becomes a part of him.
