The Joy of Baptism Day!

This was the BEST day.  My favorite day so far this year.  It went smooth, and it felt so HAPPY to all of us.  I was pleased with all the effort I had done before to make it special and I felt thankful for all the people we love who we were able to share it with.

I felt so thankful for a husband who honors his priesthood and was worthy, willing, and able to baptize this lovely young lady.  I loved seeing her all dressed up in her white dress and I loved helping her with her hair and her 8 necklace and her white flower clip.  I loved wrapping her cute CTR towel from her primary leaders around her as she climbed out of the font smiling.  I love that, true to Emma form, she chose to be baptized in a white dress rather than a jumpsuit.  I love that she wanted hot cider served because it was cold and I love that she told me how happy she felt all day long.  I love that Kurt's parents traveled to be with us and that my Dad gave a tender talk about the gift of the Holy Ghost.  I love that she got to share this with her friend, Jack Fairbank, who is the son of a most amazing mother and friend of mine as well.  

I love that so many of our friends were in attendance, along with her primary teacher from last year and her current one.  I love that the circle of Priesthood that stood around her to confirm her was so large and full of love for her. 

Oh Happy Day!
