Briley's Baptism

My niece was baptized on March 30th. Most of us went down for the baptism.
Travis had to work so he stayed.

Zach had play practice so he stayed.

Cortney and Alex are saving their money for their trip to Boston next week so they stayed.

(Alex's twin brother is getting married! Yeah, Alex has a twin! Weird, huh?)

We had a great time!

The missionaries in Debbie's ward spoke after the baptism about the Atonement and Jesus Christ. I thought that was so appropriate considering it was the theme for Primary and it was a baptism, a beginning of Briley's covenants with Heavenly Father.
 

When one missionary spoke, it caught my attention, mostly because of the accent. He was Australian!

We met up with these young men after and found out he was from Melbourne. Joey was so excited! He still insists that he is going there when he grows up.

Except he has decided he wants to go to Sydney, because that is where Britt's friend is from. And that the missionaries ride kangaroos instead of riding bikes.
 (The missionary insisted!)
 

 

But the cool part is that they get to ride Emus in the outskirts of town because they run faster. Joey is not sure he wants to every ride an Emu!

(The missionary had poor Joey going! I hope he won't be too disappointed when he realizes the truth! )
