Elizabeth was baptized last Saturday, May 2nd. (In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe that little children are innocent and cannot sin. Children are baptized at the age of eight, when they are old enough to be accountable for the choices they make. We also believe in baptism by immersion.) We are so proud of her for making this choice and covenant with her Heavenly Father. We could all feel His presence so strongly that day as her daddy baptized her, and she was absolutely glowing. She is such a beautiful girl and is trying so hard to do as her Heavenly Father wants her to. We love her so much and are so grateful she is a part of our family!

Congratulations Elizabeth! Wow, a baptism in the family. How time flies. So wish we could have been there. Give her a hug from us.
What an amazing day! I love the picture of Elizabeth kissing her daddy. I am so glad that the dads have to do that kind of thing. My kids would get prune skin from waiting in the water so long so I could stop crying long enough to finish the baptisim.
