Baptism

Our beautiful family

So I finally found my cord to my camera. Sometimes it's just not worth blogging unless you have pictures to add. This is well worth the blog. I'm glad the cord was found.

M was baptized on Saturday the 26th of Sept. On her birthday! It just happened to be the stake baptism day. I was able to make her confirmation dress. The dress she was baptized in me, my 3 sisters, and so far my 4 nieces have worn it.
She was so nervous when she went in to get her interview. But when it was done she said, "That wasn't that bad." Then she said she was nervous about her baptism because she didn't know how long she'd be under the water. It wasn't that bad either. She was so wonderful. Chris was the one who got to baptize and confirm her. When she came out of the water and I was helping her get changed she was crying so hard. I hugged and kissed her and said it was okay and asked what was wrong. She said, "I'm just so happy." Then when she was confirmed she cried through the prayer. What a spiritual young woman I have. It was a wonderful day.
Later that night I opened her window to let some air in when they went to bed. I usually shut the window. She said, "I'm not scared mom, You know why? Because I have the Spirit now." Thanks to everyone who came.
