Baptism!

Abby was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on September 13, 2014. I am so proud of her and her choice to be baptized. She has been looking forward to this day for a long time. It was strange and hard to not have Mom there physically, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that she was there spiritually. I could feel her presence. And lets face it, Mom would not have missed such an important occasion for two of her grandchildren. There were family and friends there for both Abby and Jake. The talks were beautiful, the Spirit was strong. After the baptisms they were both given the Gift of the Holy Ghost and confirmed a member of the church. Both Pug and BJ gave wonderful blessings. We have some extremely valiant spirits here to take care of!

Here are some pictures of the happenings of that day:
