Sarah Jewel's Baptism

Sarah had a very special day last Saturday.  She chose to be baptized by her father.  She had been looking forward to this day for a long time and was so excited that it was finally here.  Here she is waiting for the program to start.  
Her Primary teacher gave the talk and Sam, his brother Ben and his Dad sang and his mom played the violin for the musical number.  Then we headed back to the font where her grandpas were the witnesses and Sam was able to baptize her.  She was very nervous to go down in the water but as soon as she saw her dad all her fears were gone and she went right in.  It was a very neat experience especially because as Sam said her name you could feel the spirit come in and I really felt like her great-grandmother (she was named for her) was there with us.  Afterwards she got to put her beautiful dress on and was confirmed by her dad with her Grandpas, and her uncles Ben, Brad, Spencer, Ben, and Doug.  It was so cute because she just kept saying that "she felt so good".  It is so neat to see her so clean and happy!

Everybody that came.  Thank-you to all of you for supporting Sarah and making the drive to see her baptized.  We loved having you here :) 
Sarah and her dad.  So beautiful!
This is because I thought it turned out so cute.  We had a popcorn bar for treats after our fabulous dinner (thank you also to all of you that brought food, it was so yummy)
