Yesterday was an exciting day for our family!!

Addie took the step of being baptized! For about a year and a half she has been asking us to be able to do this, but we wanted her to be able to express in her own words what it meant and why she was being baptized. So as we were making preparations for a baptism celebration, she spoke up and said that she would like to be involved. She went through the class, interview, testimony preparation, and the whole deal!

Click below to hear the audio of her testimony of faith in Jesus Christ and then below that to watch her be baptized with Mandy, Emma, and her friend Kyra standing by.

It is important to us as parents that we help her to understand her commitment to follow in the ways of Jesus as she grows older. As the years progress this will become more and more a faith that she has of her own, coming out of the heritage of the faith of her family. Please pray with us for Addie and our other children to love God with all their heart and to love others as God has loved us!
