Caelan was baptized on June 18, 2011. It was a wonderful day. Grandpa and Grandma Dick came in to town. Great Grammy Dick also came as well as Tom and Carolyn and Rachel. We also had Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen with Kyra, Preston and Jesse. The program started at 11:00 AM. Grandpa Dick gave the talk on baptism. Kyra gave the talk on the Holy Ghost (and related it to the story of Pinocchio - very cute). Ben and Megan sang, "I am a Child of God." It was short and sweet and perfect. Sean both baptized Caelan and confirmed her a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint and gave her a blessing in which she received the gift of the Holy Ghost. Both Grandpas stood in as well as Bro. Crozier (from the bishopric), Bro. Pearce (our home teacher) and Bro. Gardiner (the ward mission leader). My heart was full the whole day: to look at this growing daughter of mine and see that she is old enough to make her own decisions and be accountable for them. And I felt so grateful that she is able to make these covenants (and that she knows what she is covenanting to do) and have the companionship of the Holy Ghost to guide her throughout her life. It was wonderful. We had a fun, family barbeque at the house afterwards.
