yup, a mormon.

So... we've always been welcome and open to having missionaries in our home. Happy to feed these guys and chat them up about where they're from. Not always receptive to their message so it kinda threw me for a loop when my husband said that he was going to call the missionaries and have them come over and "teach what they need to teach" because he'd decided to get baptized. We'd been casually discussing church things and I'd try to explain what I remembered about the temple and basic Mormon teachings that I'd learned as a child but I was obviously rusty because I hadn't been active for about 11 years. Thank goodness he had a better "inside man" in our Brother-in-law Craig. Rob and Craig would spend hours (literally) talking about the Church, the Gospel and "policy and procedure" as Rob likes to call it, while working together.

Elder Mortensen and Elder Jensen started coming over and spending time with us, sharing the word as missionaries are happy to do :)

We've gotten so used to these guys being a part of our lives, we'll certainly be a little bummed when they aren't the ones dropping in to say hello and check on us anymore, but we'll be happy to befriend new Elders that come our way. So Arizona and Utah... when you guys are reading this about a year or so from now... you really made a difference in our lives. Thank You.

On Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 5:00pm Robert was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by Craig. On Sunday, he was confirmed a member in Sacrament Meeting. We grateful for the love and support of our family and friends. We had an open house after the baptism on Saturday and were so happy to welcome people into our home. We had a lot of love present <3

We're anxious and excited to take all the steps necessary that will not only bring us closer to our Heavenly Father but that will make it possible to seal our family together for time and all eternity. I love my family so much and can't imagine forever without them. We are happy to know that now, we don't have to.

So yup, we're Mormons :)
