It's Great To Be Eight! (Baptism)

The girls were baptized as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on April 28th, 2012.    It was an amazing day and so exciting. Our ward happened to be in charge of the stake portion and because of that, we had a lot of family participation. My sister Katie played the music for both the stake and the ward portion, her husband Nate gave the opening prayer, McKenna, Kylie, Braden and Tyler along with a couple of other kids all sang 'I am a Child of God' as a special musical number, and my brother Scott shared his testimony after they were baptized. 

The girls were nervous but were grateful that both of them were able to be in the font as the other one was 'dunked.' McKenna basically through herself under the water, I guess she was so excited! 

Allen got to baptize and confirm them members and we felt blessed to have so many family members that were able to attend. 

I hope they always remember this day and the spirit that they felt. I hope they always strive to have the spirit with them. We are so proud of them and their decision.
