Wilson

Wilson has had quite a month!  Here's a quick recap:

 

He is doing an awesome job on his baseball team.  The team is doing great, and Wilson is a major contributor as the team's second baseman.  Brett is the coach, and is very proud of Wilson's progress.  The picture above was taken after a game where Wilson made a game-saving catch and was awarded the game ball.  Here are some more action shots:

Now, not only did Wilson have a great baseball month, he also caught his first unassisted fish under the tutelage of his expert fisherman grandpa.  You might want to click on the picture for a closer view of the bass and Wilson's bass impression.

The most important thing Wilson did this month was make the decision to get baptized.  His grandparents came from Arkansas and Arizona.  His great aunt came from Utah.  His Aunt Kress, Uncle Cam, Cousin Eliot and Olive came from Laredo.  His friend, Carter and family came from San Antonio.  They all wanted to participate in Wilson's baptism.  We are so proud of him, and we had some very special moments with Wilson, family, and friends.

 

Here are a few of the special moments from the baptism:

1. When Maisy sang "When I Am Baptized" with Aunt Di.
2. Aunt Kressyda giving the opening prayer in all her 9 months pregnant glory
3. When Wilson came up out of the water after being baptized, Maisy called out to him in the font, "Wilson!  Do you feel different?"
4. Grampy Ming giving Wilson a compass at the end of his talk which symbolized the Holy Ghost always giving him direction in his life.
5.  Looking around the room and seeing all our family and friends there to support Wilson.
6.  And finally, all of us rushing off to Wilson's baseball game immediately after the baptism.

I have seen a remarkable and very noticeable change in Wilson since his baptism.  He is taking his covenants very seriously and I see the Holy Ghost helping him everyday.  You are an inspiration to us, Wilson.  We love you so much!
