Saturday she was baptized and we couldn't have hoped for a more perfect day.
We were lucky enough to be able to baptize her in my brother's ward so that she could share her special day with her cousin who is just a few weeks younger than she is. In their ward the families of the children being baptized are able to plan the service, and since my nephew was the only child from their ward being baptized that day, we could plan the meeting ourselves and make it very personal. The speakers were all the grandparents and the young family members--including the two being baptized--provided the musical number.
Imagine seeing your only daughter dressed all in white standing up in front of every one singing:
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
Yes, I bawled like a baby.
I am so proud of my little girl--who she is and who she is becoming.
