Bailey's Baptism

What a day this will be to remember! It all started with a letter in the mail that said our power will be off from 9 to 1pm for some work they were doing in the canyon. So Michael planned ahead and got our generator up and running so we could have power all that morning to clean and get ready. (Without power at our house we have no water!) Bailey's baptism was planned for 3pm. I thought that would give the power company plenty of time to do what they needed to do. Well, I was wrong. Two o'clock rolls around and no power, then 2:30....I was beginning to panic because Michael's family and my family were traveling from Bountiful to be at the church at 3. Finally at 3 o'clock or a little before 3 the power turned on and the Bishop brick went to fill the font (which takes an hour and a half!) At that point we tried to talk Bailey into getting baptized in the hot tub....how cool is that? She would not go for that!!!! She wanted to be baptized where Taylar and Morgan were baptized. So at 4 o'clock we headed to the church and performed a very special ceremony for Bailey! She is now a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! It was perfect...I am so proud of her and her choice! I love you Bailey :)

Congratulations Bailey!! I'm so pleased that you chose to be baptized! Sounds like it all turned out well. Best thing about having an eventful baptism is that you'll never forget that it could have NOT happened. You must be a very strong girl!!!
