Blessing Day

In our church when a new baby is born the family usually gets the baby blessed in the first few months. A Melchizedek priesthood holder (usually the father) can give the baby a name and blessing and that's part of creating a record for the child in our church. Then, when children of record turn eight they can be baptized and become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.



Well, since we adopted Brigham and Rebekah we were able to have Timothy bless them and create a record for them. We had to wait until the adoption was final and then we were trying to find a time when the family members who wanted to come could make it out here. So, everything came together for the children to be blessed on Sunday, November 29th.

We dressed Brigham and Rebekah all in white and Timothy blessed them, assisted by his father, Loren; his brother, Dan; and our bishop. We were able to get a few pictures afterward.




These are the same clothes they're going to wear to the temple when we get them sealed to us. (As I've mentioned before, we're waiting until Hyurm's adoption is final and then we're going to seal all three of them to us.) We're looking forward to that blessed day!
