It was a beautiful, hot, sunny day. We made our way over to the Stake Center, in Eagle Mountain for Julia's baptism. Had to be there by 8:30am so Layne and Julia could change into their white clothes. There were 2 others being baptized that day as well so we divided up all the assignments like talks, songs, and prayers amongst the family members. We had both my family and Layne's family there. It was so great to be able to have everyone there for Julia's big day and I think she really thought that was cool too!
Julia was baptized by her dad and she was so happy. She walked down into the water and she was calm and she smiled. She went under the water and came back up and was just smiling from head to toe and that smile never left her face the rest of the day. The spirit was really strong for the rest of the meeting. Julia can feel the spirit and is very sensitive to it. I know when she was receiving the Holy Ghost she felt it and she gave everyone a hug afterwards. She loved being able to wear her pretty white dress all day. She felt like a princess. For a gift we gave her a set of her very own scriptures!
We are very proud of you Julia and the decision you have made to be baptized. It's one step closer to becoming more like your Father in Heaven and being able to live with Him again someday! We love you!
