The gift of the Holy Ghost





Carsen had the opportunity to get baptized this month. We had been counting down the days to "baptism day" and it was finally here! The morning was crazy in the taylor home but I guess that can be exspected. (What? no white underwear?) A trip to shopko this cold morning was in order. All in all, we made it. Even on time if you can believe it! This was a really neat thing for all of us. . His Grandpa Penrod Baptized and confermed him. Sawyer was right down front and center of the font, "WATER!!, WATER!!, WATER!!" We thought he would jump in with his brother taking a 'bath'. We were all so proud of Carsen! The next day in Sacrament, They called him up and congratulated him. We had been talking before church about bearing his testamony. He really didn't know much about this. He said "yes mom I'm going to do it" When the bishop called him up, he thought that was the time to do it. After the bishop shook his hand, Carsen stood there not knowing what to say. He had this half smile, half worried look on his face. "I don't know what to say" he whispered o the bishop. "It's O.K. you don't have to say anything." The bishop said to him. He walked back to his seat with a smile. We know he has the spirit in him. Carsen is our wonderful, special, great boy!
