garrett's baptism

About a year ago, Garrett started going to church with his friend Daniel. He was also in scouts with him. Then, a few months ago Garrett asked if it would be ok for the Missionaries to start coming by to give him the discussions.

He was very excited to learn about the church and made the decision to be baptized. After several scheduling changes and finally finding a date and time that everyone could attend, Garrett was baptized on Saturday February 26th.

Elder Koons and Elder Lewis are the sweetest missionaries that you could ever meet and we are grateful to know them. Garrett was baptized by Elder Koons and confirmed on Sunday by Elder Lewis.

Daniel is Garrett's best friend and I sometimes feel like Garrett spends more time with him than he does at our house! We are glad to have Daniel and his family live so close to us and be such a part of our lives. Grace plays with Daniel's little sister and his older sisters are our favorite babysitters!

This was the last game of this season. Even though it was not exactly a winning season, I think Garrett had a good time. He definitely improved his skill from the first game to the last.

This is the whole team, minus 3 players who did not make it to the last game. Coach Mike is in the center back, and Assistant Coach Steve in on the left in the back. These guys were really great with the boys and really took the time to help them to learn new skills. They also really stressed that it was more about enjoying the game than winning, which I think was important.

Of course, there was a pizza party and awards were given out after the last game. We are looking forward to next season and even more learning experiences for Garrett!
