A very special day...


Elli was baptized on Saturday, January 3rd. It was a special day filled with lots of love, family and friends. She was so excited! After she was baptized she said "I've been waiting my whole life for this day!" I was touched by the spirit as we were reminded of the simplicity of the gospel as we try to be more like Jesus and choose the right. We are so happy that Elli chose to be baptized and to follow Jesus's example.
