Baptism

Today we were able to see my eight year old niece Libbi get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She seemed so excited and happy for her big day and she looked beautiful! 

The woman who spoke about baptism talked about how we can remember the promises we make to our Heavenly Father at baptism by thinking about the story of Goldilocks and the The Three bears. We promise to "bear" the name of Christ, "bear" testimony of our Savior and Heavenly Father, and to "bear" one another's burdens. I thought that was a great and simple way to explain the promises we make to the young children choosing to get baptized today. 

I'm so grateful for my membership in the church and the wonderful memories I have from my baptism day. The gospel has done nothing but bless my life. I loved seeing my sweet niece take that same step toward eternal happiness.
