Baptism


Keely has been looking forward to this for years and years.
We bought her this pretty dress and took pictures for her invitations.


Such an angel.


It was such a perfect program. We took pictures as everyone arrived, and they signed her baptism book that her G'ma got her on her birthday.
G'ma Warren gave the talk about Baptism.
G'ma Staska read a story about the Holy Ghost.
Justin played Keely's favorite hymn, "I'm trying to be like Jesus" on the guitar while Asher sang (this was probably our favorite part besides the ordinances).


She was so excited, but Asher was shy as he is when there are lots of people - I was so impressed that he went up and sang for her!

G'ma and G'pa Warren came all the way from MN to share in her special day.


Of course, there were more presents. A Bible, Book of Mormon, a case to hold them, and more.


The day was perfect. We ate cake that matched the blue of her dress and just enjoyed the spirit of a little girl on her special day. Her blessing as she was confirmed said that she was to be a light of hope and brightness when she was surrounded by darkness. I couldn't explain her better.
