I love that in January her Ward had a special "It's Great To Be 8!" night for all the kids that would have their eighth birthday this year. They each received a packet with information about baptism like how to prepare, what it means to make a covenant, that they will need an interview with their bishop, etc. and then some activity pages like a word search. It also included a Faith In God booklet, and Activity Days or Cub Scout info.. Their parents also received a packet with info for them. Well...
Saturday was Paige's Big Day!
There were so many friends and family that the room hardly could contain the crowd.
Grandpa and I gave the talks. My talk was on Baptism. I compared being baptized to taking a bath. Alma 7:14-16 explains how we must be baptized and have our sins washed away, and that He has power to cleanse us of all unrighteousness. The water represented getting baptized, the soap was for the Savior's Atonement (because we just don't get clean without it!) and the scrubbie means that we must act upon making changes to become better.The kids sang a song and Chandler sang a solo. Aunt Nancy played the piano. It was a lovely occasion.
Afterwards we had cake and then we went to Celeste's house to spend some time visiting. What a great day!
