A Name, a blessing and a picnic.

Today Micah gave Nigel a name and a blessing in sacrament meeting in the Grandview 1st Ward of the Grandview Stake in Provo, UT. So many people came to support us in this sort of rite of passage. I felt like it was some kind of coming out, announcing to the world that Nigel is born and we're ready to enter life again. We're somehow over the shock of sleep depravation and responsibility of parenthood.

Christine wrote down what she could from the blessing Micah gave. It was beautiful:

Nigel will have love in his life. He will show love to those around him. Heavenly Father counseled him to let love guide him in all his dealings. Nigel will love his wife dearly. He will have passion throughout his life. Nigel will be blessed to find his testimony ealry and it will be strong. Nigel will live a long life full of happiness and joy.

It seems that there was something else about serving a mission, but I can't remember now...
