March 2, 2013 is a day we will always remember in our family. It is the day Enoch gave his life to the Lord by following in His footsteps and being baptized. We are so very proud of him for making this decision and choosing to follow our Savior on the path to eternal life.
Waiting for the baptism to start with family and friends. We were so blessed to have most of the Mecham's come from out of state to be there and many other family and friends who came all the way to Heber to be with us for this special day. We love you all and you helped make this day special for all of us. Thank you.
Enoch, Ethne, Ellie, and part of the beautiful Merritt :)
After the services we got a group picture of family and friends.
Front Row: Ellie, Olivia, Grace, Ethne, Enoch, Ezra, Elijah and Jonah.
Row Two: Matt, Christine(who is hiding), Merritt, Jess, Chelsea, Mom, Dad, Naomi, Grandmommy and Will.
Row Three: Bryce, Greg, Camilla, Grand-daddy, and Mandi. Back Row: David Jr. and Dexter, Neil and Mark. We feel extremely blessed to have each and every one of these people in our lives. They are all such a blessing to our family.
Enoch said that he felt SO happy when he was baptized and received the Holy Ghost. He said he still felt like the same person but he felt clean and happy and good. We were all so happy for him. Enoch and Ezra played the song "Baptism" on their violins as a part of the service and we were so proud of them for sharing their talents with us and bringing in the spirit with their beautiful music.
Enoch with the Primary President of the Lake Creek 2nd Ward. We are sort of just passing through this ward and will be in another ward in another 6 weeks or so but she was very helpful in getting everything arranged for the ward baptism. There was one other little girl baptized from our ward with him. We all met together in the beginning and Grand-mommy gave a talk with a little help from Ethne on Baptism. Then Enoch and Brandi(the other little girl) were baptized by their fathers and after that we split off into two groups and each child had the rest of the service just for them. (we have grand-mommy to thank for that as it almost didn't happen)
After the service we talked outside for a while and took pictures and then eventually those who had to head home left and the rest of us came to my parents house and had a little luncheon. These are the four quiche's I made and there were two more(not pictured) Camilla made. They were wonderful. The first two are tomato, spinach, bacon and the other two are leek, asparagus. All have a hard vintage cheddar and Gouda cheese as well. Yummy. Camilla's had capsicum, eggplant, cream & cheddar cheese, celery and onion. All were delicious.
Trifles I made for desert. Imagine layers of pound cake, berries macerated in orange juice and sugar, whipped cream with lemon zest, vanilla, cream cheese, and icing sugar garnished with more fresh berries and mint and you can imagine a little piece of heaven.
Come and Eat!!!
Thank you Enoch for your sweet spirit and for being a part of our family. We all love you so much and are so proud of your decision to be baptized You are such a good boy with so much potential and your parents and grandparents and Aunts and Uncles and a whole lot of other people love watching you live up to that potential. Always remember this day and how you felt and how it built your testimony of your loving Heavenly Father, your Savior Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost.
Addition: Today is fast Sunday and Enoch is fasting one meal. He prayed with Garrett and I to open his fast and although he is really hungry he feels good about doing it. He prayed and is fasting with us for some big family things and I am happy to have a son who is a part of that this month. He also wrote down his testimony this morning so that he can have the courage to bare his testimony in sacrament meeting today. He said he thought he could do it if we got there early and sat in the front so he didn't have to walk all the way to the front :)
