Happy New Year!

Well it has been several months since my last posting! Life has been crazy busy! I will try to bring this blog up to speed. Here is a picture of Nauvoo with her older brother Christian right before she was baptized by him into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Although she turned eight in October, which is the age of accountability in our religion, she had her heart set on being baptized by her oldest brother. He needed to be ordained a Priest before being able to perform this ordinance and she was willing to wait for him. Then she figured since she was going to wait till mid December anyway she wanted to wait a couple more weeks and get baptized on New Years Day. What a great way to start off the year. They both said the water was freezing but she said she was warm from her heart and smiled really big up at Christian when she came up out of the water. The blessing Brett gave her afterward to receive the Holy Ghost was so beautiful. She is such a wonderful, choice daughter of God and it is our privilege to have her be a part of our family.
