Brooklyn's Baptism




Last week Brooklyn was baptized. She has been looking forward to this day for so long. We all have. I am so proud of her, and her choice to become a member of Christ's church. As we were sitting next to each other during the talks on baptism and the Holy Ghost, she turned to me with a big smile and said, "It is my turn! It is finally my turn!"

Her toes did not want to stay under the water the first time, and so she had to go under the water again. She didn't seem to mind at all.

She was so beautiful all dressed in white - almost like she was an angel. This was truly an amazing day.

  2. Brooklyn, congratulations! I wasn't there, but Andrew says my cell phone buzzed in his pocket just as you were baptized, so I guess in a way I was there! I'm proud of you and happy for you to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. I love love love you!

  3. What a wonderful day! I can't believe that Brooklyn is 8 already. That means Doug is 9! We can't possibly have children that old yet! ;)
