Today M-8 entered into the waters of baptism! She was so very excited. We had a nice program with family and many friends and church family supporting her. Since she has a February birthday, she is the first in her class to turn 8 and be baptised. It was fun to have her whole class come out for the service. Her sweet, dear CTR 8 teacher gave a talk on the Holy Spirit that touched everyone in attendance. Grandma Hawley gave a great talk with lots of stories of her own baptism that will be a treasure to all of the family since she is giving us a copy for our family history. Grandpa John confirmed her a member of the church of Jesus Christ and gave her a blessing and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Grandma Natalie led us all in song and gave a sweet closing prayer. I felt Grandpa Ken was there with us. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to teach my children the gospel of Jesus Christ and for the blessings of the atonement!
