The First of Three!!

Yesterday we got to go see our little niece and Alis really close cousin Kate get baptized. It was a neat experience for many reasons, but mostly because Ali will be the next to get baptized and it was fun to see her figure out what the whole thing is about. Kate is an amazing little 8 year old who is strong willed, intelligent, optimistic, and wants to do what is right. So when she told her mom that she wanted to get baptized because that is what Jesus did, it was fun to see it all come to a reality. Her mom, my sister, isn't exactly what we would call an "active MEMBER". She really was having a hard time with this decision until Kate told her why she wanted to get baptized, so it was that much sweeter to see her choose to be baptized.

As Kate came out of the water she threw her arms up into the air and was so excited, it was fun to see!! I am so glad Ali has so many great examples around her to help her choose the right and try to be like Jesus! Ali will be the next and on the same Day her other cousin Madison will also be baptized, it will be a great day!!
