A.'s Baptism

It's Great to Be Eight

A person must be at least 8 years old to be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  A. turned 8 in December so her baptism was held the following month on January 18th.  We are so proud of her for choosing to follow Christ by making this important decision in her life.

 

 

As a priesthood holder, J. was able to baptize and confirm A. himself.  She had to be baptized twice, however, because her big toe popped out of the water the first time.  Her Grandpa G. and our good friend J. Ross were the witnesses.

 

Thank you so much to our friends from our ward and neighborhood for helping out with the music for the service.  Thank you to my sister who designed the adorable invitations.  Thank you also to those who came from far away to be with us on this special day and to my wonderful parents.  My Mom insisted on coming even though she was nearly dying of the stomach flu the day before and my Dad patiently allowed me to order him around as I prepared for the both the service and luncheon.
