4 generations.
Words can't express what a wonderful day we had on Saturday. Joseph chose to be baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was so beautiful and lots of tears were shed as we watched this boy grow and mature right in front of our eyes. With talks given by his Great Grandpa Jackson and Grandpa Nielsen; prayers by his Grandma Nielsen and Grandma Turner and a beautiful musical number by our dear friend Tanya, the feelings in the room were something to always cherish and will never be forgotten.
We had a great party afterwards with lots of food, family and friends. Great Grandma Jackson sent a special gift to Joseph which was a carpenters square which belonged to Joseph's Great-Great Grandpa Burris who used it to build many buildings, furniture pieces and any woodworking project he could get his hands on. The square is over 112 years old. What a beautiful and meaningful gift. I do have pictures and I will post them as soon as I get them.
Thank you to all who were there both in body and spirit for this special day for our son.
