Max’s Baptism/ Gabe Temple- April 2017

April 21st, 2017 Max turned the big 8. Since there is not baptismal font or enough priesthood for him to get baptized in our current city, we gave him the choice of traveling to Bangalore to do it or doing it while in the USA visiting family. He really wanted his extended to be there if they could. So that’s what we did. Max felt very blessed to have his grandparents, the Henrie family, and the Stair family all attend and celebrate with him.

Bobby and Max, both excited to get underway.

Gabe also turned 12 the preceding February. What he was most looking forward to about being 12 was to go to the temple. He got his recommend in India, and then we had a little temple trip with as many of his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins that were available and of age. Jack did us a great service by staying outside the temple with Max so both Katy and Bobby could attend with Gabe on his first time. It was such a joyous day.

And the family even found a little bit of time to play games together after church on Sunday before people had to start leaving town.
