Emma's baptism




Emma was finally baptized on Feb. 6th. She turned 8 in Dec. but wanted to wait until Kayla was able to come. Sophie played a descant on her violin while everyone sang "I Am a Child of God." It was so pretty. Steve's parents came as well as cousin Jessie Beck. Zach invited his girlfriend, Holly, who wants to take the missionary discussions. Sophie said that we must continue the tradition she started on her baptism and eat at Pei Wei. So that's exactly what we did. On Sunday when Steve introduced Emma as being recently baptized, he invited her to sit on the stand like he does with all the newly baptized children. Emma said she'd rather sit by Kayla. What a wonderful weekend!
