When I Am Baptized

I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain

And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.

I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain. 

I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,

And I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.

I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.

I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

Laurel's sweet friend, McKinley sang this song right after Laurel was baptized.

What I loved most about this day, was Laurel's excitement!  She was so excited that she was being baptized and I'm so proud of the girl she is becoming.  She loves to hear stories from the scriptures and she loves Jesus.

It was so sweet that her daddy was able to baptize her.  It was such a special day for both of them.

(One huge regret:  I did not take pictures of everyone that came to Laurel's baptism.  There were many friends and family who came to support Laurel and it meant so much to her and to us.)

I was going to take Laurel outside for an eight year old photo shoot.  When I turned on my camera, I found these pictures that Savannah had taken of Laurel.  Looks like they got my camera and had their own photo shoot.  And who knows when I would be able to make one happen, so I decided to use these somewhat dark, sweet photos instead!

We are so proud of you, Laurel!
