Hadley is getting baptized this Saturday and is full of anticipation and excitement! She had her interview with the bishop tonight and was so nervous. She played with her dress the entire time and had the cutest little nervous giggle. And her responses to his questions were barely audible. He asked her if she was a little nervous and she giggled and replied, "no". They talked about the 4th Article of Faith (We believe that the first principles and ordinances of the Gospel are: first, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance; third, Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, Laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost) and discussed the meaning of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His atonement. She is definitely prepared and ready for this next step in her life!
Another exciting part of getting baptized is finding a beautiful baptism dress! I went out shopping after the interview and when I got home Hadley asked me if I had bought her a wedding dress. A wedding dress?????? I am already having a hard enough time accepting that she is old enough to be getting baptized, I don't need to think about her wedding quite yet!
How exciting. Hope you're going to post the pictures. I need to see the dress!
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting for Hadley. I know what you mean though. The other night I lay awake in my bed wondering where the time has gone with my kids. It seems like I am transitioning from just having these little kids to having a kid who will be going to Kindergarten! She has seemed so big to me lately and I just find myself wondering where did the time go?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Hadley. I bet you are so proud of her. How funny her comment on a wedding dress, wish the wedding dress cost as much as the baptism dress. haha
