"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind... We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith." -- Margaret D. Nadauld

Dude! You Passed!

Inigo is getting baptized soon. On October 9 as a matter of fact. In recent weeks we've been teasing him about the bishop's interview he'll have, saying things like, "I hope you pass," and "Do you think you know all the right answers?"

Uh oh. He's never had a bishop's interview before. He didn't know that this particular one is very easy to pass, especially when you're 8 years old!

Inigo's interview was last night. We got him all gussied up... he looked so handsome! I took him to the church and with his big eyes shining brightly, the bishop (our neighbor that lives two houses away) led him into his office.

Approximately 15 minutes later, Inigo walks out with his recommend in his hand.

We walk down the hall together and when we're about 5 feet from the bishop's office, he whispers to me in an excited voice,

"MOM!! I PASSED!! I GET TO BE BAPTIZED!!!"

Then he gives me the biggest hug ever.

All the way home he kept muttering, "I passed! I can't believe I passed! I'm so excited!"
