E's Baptism

On Feb. 6th our sweet E was baptized as a member of the church by her father. It was a special day. Her grandparents, Grandma Camille, Grandpa Terry, Grandma Andrea were there, along with dear friends from the ward and neighborhood. Her primary teacher, Aaron Cali, gave a talk on baptism and her Grandpa spoke on the Holy Ghost. Katherine Culpepper played a beautiful violin assortment prepared just for E, and two sweet Beehives, Eliza and Sariah, sang.

Her father confirmed her and told her how proud her Father in Heaven was of her for her decision to be baptized. He then went on to bless her with the ability to discern right from wrong. To always surround her self with friends that will be a positive influence on her, friends that will help lead her to Heavenly Father. He blessed to continue to love to learn all her life. He blessed that she will be good example to her sisters. He then blessed that when the time is right that she will live worthily to enter the temple to make sacred covenants. He told her that this is what Heavenly Father wanted most for her.

E glowed on that day. This was a day that she has looked forward to for so long. It was so touching to see her eagerness to make that important covenant and promise to be like Jesus. We are so proud of her for her decision to be baptized. She has always had such a strong desire to do what is right and be obedient. I still remember staring at her when she was a baby and wonder if I was worthy enough to raise this special little person. Eight years I feel that even more. We love her with all our heart.
