We are so proud of Jacob's choice to be baptized. It was a much anticipated day. Rory baptized and confirmed him. I was so proud of both of them. As Jake came out of the water, Kali leaned over the edge of the font and said, "Dad, can I have a turn now?!?!" It was a funny moment, and one the Bishop said he'd never seen in all the days of participating in baptisms. But what really hits me is the example that Jacob is setting for the rest of the family. The family home evenings and discussions that we held in anticipation for this special day helped Rory, Miranda, Ari, and myself remember and reflect on the covenants we had made. And obviously his little sisters want to follow in his footsteps. We were so grateful for all the family and friends that were able to attend. We even were able to have Grandma Mann with us. Obviously, by the lack of pictures, we were all too busy enjoying the company to take any more pictures. Thanks for sharing your special day with us, Jacob Rory Mann!
