Baptism

This past weekend a sweet 8-year-old girl was baptized. She was very excited. She was one of my Primary children when I taught the CTR 7 class, so this was special for me too. I had helped them plan the baptism. Last December, a day after Christmas, the mom was baptized. It was a short meeting. I think the missionaries gave the talks, and it was not attended by many people. I remember the dad wore jeans and a t-shirt. The contrast at this baptism was striking. The dad was dressed in a white shirt, tie, and dress pants. He did the baptism and confirmation. The transformation that has taken place in this family is beautiful. The gospel of Jesus Christ truly brings out the best in each of us.
