Breanna's Baptizm

I can't believe it's been a week since Breanna's Baptism and I am just now Blogging about it! What a beautiful day it was! Breanna truly had a wonderful day and glowed all weekend. I don't think you could wipe her smile away! I am so grateful for the the family that came and helped with food and especially for the priesthood holders that came thank you Roger, Al and Kory! Breanna got a Journal from her Aunt Gigi and wrote down her experience. She wrote "I was nervous but then the water rushed over my face and I felt clam and happy." It made me laugh when she shared that with me. I love her. :)
Breanna's Baptism has been an emotional event for me. When Ashlyn was baptised I never second guessed her decision. She has always had a spiritual side to her and knew who her savior was even as a toddler. This was not the case with Breanna. She always seamed to be too preoccupied with life to worry about the spiritual side of things. Last year I remember thinking that she would not be ready to be baptised by eight. I didn't think she would understand what she was committing to. But slowly through the year she started to be aware and understand things in a different light. Her primary teacher would tell me that she would ask the questions that they had not even thought of and how much they enjoyed her insight. I would think My Breanna? The Bishop said that in her interview that he asked her why she wanted to be baptized and her response was. "So I can live with Heavenly Father again." Wow.
Through my daughter I have witnessed why eight is the age of accountability. I know that she does not understand all the gospel principles. But she DOES understand why she was baptised and what she was promising. I am proud of her!
