What a special day it was for Brenna's baptism. It was so nice to take a break from reality and focus on the spiritual things. Brenna had a very nice baptism with her dad baptizing her and her dad, grandpa's and uncles confirming her. Nana gave the best talk I have heard on the Gift of the Holy Ghost, comparing it to lightning, lighting the way in the dark before baptism, and a flashlight after baptism. Kasie gave a great talk on her diving nature, comparing her to Princess Repunzel. The room was filled with family and friends. We felt overwhelmed with love when Bishop Nielsen asked each group to stand to demonstrate all the people that are their for her throughout her life. We had Vinces at our house after. It was a windy windy morning but was perfect for our dinner after. With Grandma Moses about to pass away, us moving, and Nathan selling his business, there is a lot going on. I am grateful for the eternal perspective the gospel brings to give us the peace we need and focus on what matters most. I am so grateful for a Savior, Jesus Christ that led the way and gave us an opportunity to be forgiven of our sins and live with Heavenly Father again. I am so proud of Brenna for the person that she is and I hope she never forgets the covenant she made on Saturday.
