On October 9th, 2010 Brody chose to be baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. What a fantastic decision he made. We are so proud of him and the wonderful young man he is becoming. He had almost 50 friends ( including 10 Grand/Great Grandparents) and relatives come to watch him as he became the newest member of the Torrey Ward. After being confirmed by his Grandfather Raymond Potter, Brody felt the spirit so strongly that he couldn't help but shed a couple of tears when he sat next to his mom. That in turn got the waterworks going for his mom AND Brother Coombs as well. What a spiritual young man. He is truly a good example to me and a testament of the love our Lord and Savior has for each and every one of us.

In the water....it's time!

They clean up pretty nice I think!
