Rebekah's Baptism


Rebekah was baptized on October 13th, 2007

She had a beautiful dress for the occasion. We had tons of family and friends there to make it even more special. Each one of our family had a part to play in the program.
Bryon of course baptized Rebekah, I sang a song and Ethen said the prayer (he practically begged us to let him). Sam of course was the meeting distraction. I let him wander around the chapel. He knew almost everyone there so I was okay with it. The next day was church and he thought he could do the same thing. That was a great meeting.
We planned on having the luncheon at the pavilion behind the church, but of course it had to rain. We crammed 40 people into our teeny house. I jokingly said that we should have everyone line up in the garage, pass through the kitchen to get their food and then downstairs to the basement. Nobody seemed to mind that even though there was enough chairs for everyone to sit, you had to be really friendly with the person you sat by.
Rebekah received scriptures from her grandparents as well as numerous other baptism and birthday gifts. It was an all out great day.

Wow--you have one that old, huh? Ours will be that old next year. I can hardly believe it. Rebekah looks beautiful in white, both the dress and the baptism clothes.
