Hi Everyone!
Well Faye turned 8 years old last Monday and was baptized last Saturday!
For her birthday, she invited some friends to join her for a dinner party. She requested meat fondue. The girls followed our rule about hugging and kissing everyone at the table if a piece of meat stays in the pot. They thought the objective to hug and kiss the most so there were lots of lost meat, to say the least. And lots of love!
Then on Saturday, Faye was so precious in her baptismal gown! Her Father and I are so proud of her. I was very nervous about giving a talk on Baptism, but I felt the Holy Ghost so strong when LuAnn (Faye's grandma) gave her talk on the gift of the Holy Ghost.
I could see the joy in Faye's face after she came up out of the water and we quickly changed her into her dress. On Sunday, Faye was welcomed into the church as the newest member of the Milwaukee Ward. I can already notice a change in her behaviour since.
She is getting so big! She has been reading her new scriptures that her grandparent's gave her for her baptism and is really enjoying them.
I am feeling very good about our time here in Milwaukee. It doesn't matter how cold it is outside or how much snow falls, my heart is warm from the friends I've made here in the midwest. Thanks to all of you who made this baptism special. Not only for Faye but for our family. You are wonderful!!
Love, Sonia XXOO
I hope you like the photos we took of the baptism.
