What an amazing experience her baptism was! I'm tearing up now just thinking about it. The Spirit was so incredibly strong. Because Linds was the only child getting baptized in our ward, she got to plan the entire program:Prayers: Callie (Aunt) and Grandpa Christensen (my Dad)
Pianist: Grandma Matthews
Chorister: Stephanie (Aunt)
Musical Number: Lindsay and Meagan "I Know That Jesus Lives"
Baptism talk: Brennen (Uncle)
Holy Ghost talk: Austin (cousin)
Each and every part of the program was amazing. Brennen gave the most incredible talk and he spoke right to Lindsay. It really touched my heart. Meagan and Lindsay's musical number was so sweet and pure. A testimony for sure. And Austin's talk on the Holy Ghost was so heartfelt.....he's going to be an awesome missionary (in just a few months)! Brad did such a great job with the baptism and confirmation. He is my spiritual rock! I'm so lucky to have him! Lindsay was so cute when she came out of the water. Her smile was huge! The bishop even commented on the strong spirit that was felt there. I know it was because of the awesome families that we're a part of. We have such great examples to look up to! I'm so blessed to have come from such an amazing family and so lucky to have married into an equally amazing family. I love you all!
I didn't do a very good job of getting pictures of everyone at the baptism, but at least I had my sister snap one of our family.
After a delicious lunch we had a birthday party for Linds!
Her reaction to seeing her new bike!
I tried to make a red, white, and blue cake, but the huckleberries were more purple than blue. Oh well, it was delicious anyway.
Before it was time to say goodbye, I grabbed a snapshot of my family members who were able to be at the baptism....minus my Grandma and Grandpa Sherratt who had already left.
We got to keep Michael and Heidi's family with us a little longer that evening. They stayed and watched the Morgan fireworks with us!
