Machella's Baptism


Machella was absolutely beautiful the morning of her baptism. She wore the dress Grandpa Mark and Grandma Mindy sent her. She was so excited to get baptized.

Joshua wouldn't cooperate when we tried to take family pictures outside the church. He would much rather run around than pose for his big sister.

This was an exciting moment for both of us. Machella was baptized twice because she didn't go all the way under the water (my fault). The second time I did it I pushed her all the way to the bottom of the font. At least she'll remember that she was baptized twice. I confirmed her and the other priesthood holders who stood in the circle were ... Grandpa Doll, Uncle Jay, Bishop Bramwell, Mike Nicholas (our hometeacher), and Dan Price (my friend from work). It was totally awesome to baptize and confirm such a wonderful girl who is part of our eternal family.
