Baptized!!!
Once again I’m a few weeks behind, but I wanted to let Hailey know how proud I am of her for choosing to be baptized. To be honest, I only remember bits and pieces about my baptism day, but I do remember sitting on the front row in the chapel with my Dad and several other kids in my ward who were being baptized that day. I can’t say that I really remember the event itself, but of all the things that happened in my young life it was definitely one of the most important. I also remember that for several weeks or months afterward that I was much more conscious about making mistakes though. And at this point in my life I can clearly look back on it with the knowledge that I am truly lucky to have the knowledge of the Gospel in my life and the opportunity to join Christ’s church.
I hope that with time Hailey will come to truly appreciate the amazing gift she’s received. I realize that at 8 years old it’s a bit hard to comprehend the true weight of what has taken place, but I pray that Emily and I can help her to learn to appreciate it and to choose to follow the teachings of our Savior. We love you Hailey and we’re so happy for you.
