On Saturday, May 27th, our sweet and spunky Abby was baptized. It was such a special weekend. These moments in our children't lives are memorable and sweet and the spirit was so strong. We were able to have a family baptism and so just Abby was being baptized that day. It was a particularly special event because her Grandpa Dave and Grandma Jackie were able to give the talks. Sammie and her friend played the violin. I felt so much love that day and that our family was being showered with the spirit. I think Abby could feel the importance of her decision to be baptized and it reminded the rest of us why we chose to be baptized. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. It grounds me and teaches me and helps me to feel close to my Savior. I enjoy watching my children grow and to have experiences like this where they can feel the Spirit and take part in the goodness of the Gospel. I shared my journal entry with her from the day I was baptized and reminded her to pay attention to the things she would be feeling that day. Abby come out of the water with excitement on her face. It was a day about our Heavenly Father's kingdom and his children. I was so happy for Abby and for our family that day. It reminded me of so many things that I have tucked away in my heart. The love I felt was so great. She had some beautiful pictures taken just like Olivia and Sammie had done. We were happy to have our family there and I made Abby a little book with all of the photos of that day, but I thought I would put a few of them here.
