austin

i was very fortunate this past weekend to fly in and see these two get married, it was truly a beautiful day. today austin gets baptized my eyes fill with tears of pride and happiness as i write these words. austin has a heart of gold. he is the best listener, isn't listening a lost art these days? well he's got the art. once he over heard emily and jon saying that they needed baby wipes for baby ashy and without a second thought he went and got them about 5 giant packages of baby wipes. not only does he listen but he is genuinely kind and generous. austin would give you the shirt off his back and more if he could. austin looks you in the eyes when you talk to him. austin is very comforting, his big eyes and gentle smile are enough to melt anyone's sadness away. austin loves the movie tangled, doesn't that phrase speak a million words? i love how motivated austin is and such a hard worker. austin can not fail because he works too hard. i am sad to miss this big day, but i have 100% confidence in not only austin but vanessa as well.

"remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God. and if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father! and now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me in the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!" d&c 18:10, 15-16

the proud big sissy,
