Savannah turned 8 years old and chose to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was baptized on January 5, 2013. It was a very special day and we are so pleased with her decision to become a member of the Church and make those baptismal covenants with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
She shared this day with another little girl named Darby from the other ward. Her grandparents flew in for the special day and she had friends and ward members there to support her also.
Savannah wanted everyone there to share their favorite scripture with her so she could mark them in her new scriptures, Darby's family thought that was a good idea too, so we had note cards for people to write down their favorite scripture on for each of the girls.
Then we wanted to do something special while everyone waited for the dads and girls to get dressed so the Lee's (Darby's Family) offered to make a video of the girls, with picture of them growing up. They each had their own section of the video with primary music playing. It was very fun to see how each girl had grown and the memories it brought back.
We split the program we were in charge of the 1st half. Savannah chose "We'll Bring the World His Truth" for the opening song, Grandma Jensen to say the opening prayer and Grandma Gardner to give the talk on Baptism. Then we had Grandpa Jensen and Grandpa Gardner be the witnesses. There was a beautiful spirit there that day that I hope we will all remember.
We went to Chili's after to celebrate.
