Noah Wilkes,
youngest of Rob and Chardell Wilkes five children, was baptized on Saturday,
May 9 at the Bloomington Stake Center – the same day his big sister Ashley
Chardell Wilkes graduated with an Associate of Arts and Science degree from
Dixie State University, making this an unusually busy day for the family.
Noah, a 2nd
grade student at Bloomington Elementary School, turned 8 years old on April 20.
Says his mom about the baptismal experience for her youngest child,
“Rob and I have been extremely busy lately and didn't do much prep with him
spiritually. Fortunately Noah is quite smart and though he seems like
he's not paying attention in Primary, it all sinks in anyway. Like a
pro he was able to answer all the questions asked of him during the talks at his
baptism. He also provided some comedic relief while working his way down
the font stairs. I have to say it was the most entertaining baptism I've
ever attended.”
The Bible
Dictionary teaches, “baptism in water is the introductory ordinance of the
gospel and is followed by baptism of the Spirit to receive the gift of the Holy
Ghost. Baptism symbolizes death, burial
and resurrection and can only be done by immersion with the authority of the
priesthood. Baptism is a reminder of our
personal commitment to Jesus Christ. Its
symbolism is beautiful and its consequences ever so desirable."
Noah's decision to be baptized makes him the newest member of the B7 Ward.
