Holy Baptism

After two cancellations, trying to arrange numerous schedules and not being successful, we finally had Amelia baptised on September 21, 2008. We schedule this event two times before and had to cancel both for various reasons, surgeries, casting etc. I decided I'd like to get it done before the casting and surgery this fall and set out to find a date. Unfortunately, Matthew was away at school, so we had to go forward without him. We have three amazing pastors at our church, so I never have a preference on who does the baptism. I just call the office, ask for dates only, no pastor schedules and we get who we get. Well, it seems that of all the times, our extension pastor, Jenn Lucas, was going to be at the main campus on this date and she performed the baptism. It was lovely and a long time coming. Amelia did very well and Elise was a little more than chagrined that she was not up on the big screen in front of the congregation. Fortunately, the very last photo was one of both of the girls at the beach, it's one of my favorite photos of them and I'm so happy they included it in the slide show.

We had the family come to the house afterwards for a nice brunch and it was a perfectly lovely day. We even had a few friends stop by to congratulation our girl.

So Amelia has had her first sacrament. I will continue to pray that she will experience many more.
