"never-ending happiness"

True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours." Richard G. Scott, Ensign, Nov. 2006, 41

Abigail's Baptism

It was a beautiful day for a baptism and a beautiful place to do it - the Ambassadors residence. It was an honor and pleasure for me to have Abby ask me to baptize her.

The Ambassador warned me the pool was a little cool (72 degrees) because one of the heating coils was not working. It wasn't bad until I stepped off of the last step. It was a bigger step than the others and I was up to mid-chest at that point. I kept Abby on the upper step or she would have been under. After the baptism we enjoyed refreshments in the residence which is beautiful. This was the first time I have ever been in an Ambassador's home. While the home and grounds are beautiful, I was surprised it wasn't bigger.

After the baptism we took a family shot in Steven's home with the camera on auto. I wasn't tickling Benjamin. Gideon was half undressed as we were not fast enough to gather them for the picture after arriving home.
