Rogers Children Baptized!

Here is a great photo of our dear friends Owen and Tamra Rogers. They are pictured with their three newest family members and the missionaries just prior to the children's baptism. Today Edward, Samantha (closest to Owen), and Cassidi's (closest to Tamra) adoption became final. So in addition to becoming officially Rogers they were able to be baptized and become members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It was beautiful, wonderful, moving experience and the children were so excited.

Both the Elders and the Sisters taught the children when they came to be a part of the Rogers family. With the split of the ward, the Elders were moved out of Kearney Third and we gained our sweet Sisters. The Rogers will be sealed in the Nauvoo Temple on the 13th and both the Elders and the Sisters were able to get special permission from the Mission President to travel to Nauvoo and attend the sealing.

I think this is an especially sweet photo of Owen with the children. Samantha is 13 (on Owen's left), Edward is 15, and sweet Cassidi is 11. (She wants to be in young women so bad, but will have to wait till May when she turns 12) We include her every chance we can.

I Love this photo, even though everyone is looking in different directions. There were about five different people taking pictures and it was difficult to get everyone looking at you. We were so lucky to be a part of their special day. I am so glad that I have been blessed to be able to serve with Tamra and gain the opportunity to grow close to this wonderful family.
