Who would be crazy enough to schedule a cruise a week before their daughter's baptism? Yeah, we would. FYI, not a good idea. I spent the week in between shopping for a dress, trying to schedule a bishop's interview, and giving late notice to family because I failed to make invites before we left! Typical Larae brain.
After the craziness of the week, it was nice for Saturday to arrive. Kate was so excited! Her baptism was at 10 am. We were glad to have family and friends come to support her in her big decision. My mom and Robyn came from Vegas and Jeff and Staci came from Kaysville. Dustin's parents, Shandi (his sister) and Jaren, Wendy (his sister) and Cory, and Taryn( another sister) and Adam all came as well. It was nice to have so much family! We were glad Grandma Nelson came too!
They asked Dustin and I to bear our testimonies after. How sweet that was to have the Spirit so strong. I told Kate the things I remembered from my baptism day. I challenged her to remember her favorite thing and to never forget it. Then she will remember the day. I later asked her what that thing would be, she said this:
My favorite thing was getting confirmed. I liked it when all the men in the room who had the priesthood stood around me. I received the gift of the Holy Ghost.
I hope she never forgets. that is a very important gift!
Here are some pictures from our day:
I thought it would be fun to start interviewing my kids as they grow. A birthday is a perfect start!
