Raleigh's Baptism Notes

Our primary presidency handed out note cards to family and friends in between Raleigh's baptism and confirmation to write a note to him. They collected them and gave them to him in a brown paper bag at primary today. Raleigh enjoyed reading them, and here are a few of the ones that stood out:

"Hey Bud!! This decision is going to be the biggest and best decision you have and will ever make. I hope that when you get older you will resist temptations. It will be hard but me, your parents, your siblings, and god believe you can. You are an amazing, athletic, and handsome young man. You can do anything. Again, congrats on your decision bud. It will bless you forever. Love Your Cuz, Hannah Shippen

P.S. You're gonna be a good lookin' kid and lots of girls will like you. So only pick the ones with high stands and nothing less!"

"Raleigh, I can't believe you're already 8! (Seems like just yesterday you were throwing chewed hamburgers at me, ha ha) Your whole family is very very proud of you. Congratulations, stay out of trouble, and don't forget your baptism day! ☺ Connor…. Congrats, 8 is great."

"I'm very excited to be here and see you get baptized. Ral, I hope you had a good time and always keep close to our Savior Jesus Christ. He's always there when you need him. I am very happy for you. Sincerely, Reilly"

"Raleigh, you are a great example and an awesome cousin, hoping that your decisions will be chosen wisely. Wishing you the best, Wesley James Shippen."

"Raleigh Ben, how proud we are of you! We look at you & see your Dad all over again. Always follow his example and that of your family. Heavenly Father loves you very much. Always CTR. Love G & G Emmett & Sue."
