Lexee's baptism


Lexee was baptized and became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Saturday March 6, 2010. She was so excited but she said she was just a little nervous. She was definately the princess of the day. She loved all the attention her family and friends gave her. We felt so loved by all who attended. Her dad baptized and confirmed her giving her the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Cody blessed that Lexee would listen to the Holy Spirit to make good decisions. He also blessed her that should would strive to walk in the footsteps of our Savior. I am so thankful that Cody honors his priesthood and is able to perform these saving ordinances.
Details of the baptism: Aunt Ness gave the Holy Ghost talk. Grandpa Thompson and Grandpa Baldwin witnessed the sacred ordinance. She chose her dress and wanted a flower in her hair. We held the luncheon in the cultural hall afterwards. She told me she wanted Spaghetti and Meatballs and caramel apples. Our entire Primary Presidency and her Primary teachers were both there as well as the 1st counselor of the Bishopric. All of her immediate family was there. Aunt Susan, Aunt Pam, Uncle Grant, Uncle Scott and Aunt Delynn as well as Melissa, Michael, Jamie and Elayne made a special effort to come. Our special friends The Mortensons, The Taylors, The Moffitts and The Graysons also joined us for. We missed those who couldn't make it and are so grateful for those who made the special effort to share this day with us. We are particularly thankful that Grandpa Baldwin was discharged from the hospital and able to be there.
We are so proud that Lexee made this important decision. I am so thankful for the opportunity that we have to be baptized and receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

Sorry we weren't able to come to her baptism but thought of her on her big day! Can't wait for baseball season so I can hang out with her and have fun.
What a wonderful example she is and will be not that she has the Holy Ghost with her. And I'm sorry to hear Grandpa Baldwin was in the hospital, hopefully he's better and doing well
