Sammie's Baptism

Well today was Sammie’s Baptism. We had a great group of close friends and family there to support her. It was a very special day. We got up early and got all showered and then I got to bread Sammie’s hair and got everything ready to go. Well by the time we go to the stake center we where about 7 min late so we hurried and got everyone in and got Casey and Sammie changed into the white jump suits then it was time to start. Bishop Atkin gave a welcome and then we sang "When I am Baptized" then I said the opening prayer. Followed by a great talk on Baptism Given by Grandpa Joe (this was his first talk ever and he did an outstanding job) then it was time for the Baptism Casey got in the water first and helped Sammie get into the water. They looked so cute and holy he raised his hand and baptized her. We are very thankful to Brendon Gibb and Patrick Fisk for coming to be our witnesses.
While they where changing we played this movie



This is what She looked like walking out dressed in her special white dress.

Then Shyla gave a talk that she wrote all by herself on the holly ghost. I was a great talk and she did a wonderful job. Then it was time for Sammie to get confirmed a member of the church and receive the holly ghost. We are thankful to Bishop Atkin

Patrick Fisk

And Casey

for being in her circle. This was so sweet and special she was given a blessing with it that was so touching about how the choice she is making will be an example to those around her and talked about the family and children she would have in the future and counseled her to stay close to her parents both the ones on earth and her heavenly parents it also talked about how proud heavenly father is with her and how much she is loved by him and his son.
She was so touched after she shook everyone's hand she went and hugged everyone there

It was very touching Shyla started to cry during it because the spirit was so strong. Then we sang a closing prayer I am a child of god with a closing prayer offer by sister Atkin. We the had time to take some pictures then we had Sammie change from her all whit dress back to her purple and white dress then with it only being 10 am we decided to take everyone out to breakfast where we had a great time Aunt Billy, Grandma Bev, Grandpa Joe, Alex, Casey, Shyla, Sammie, And me. Thanks for showing your support for this momentous day is Sammie’s life
