I have been so nauseated and light headed that I did not get Raeleigh's baptism dress made before Mom flew out. I had it all cut out, but that was it. I am so glad that Mom was willing to share her talent in sewing with Raeleigh and put the dress together.
Raeleigh started planning her baptism in March. She decided to be baptized on her birthday. Raeleigh made the agenda for the baptism program and also made phone calls to ask people to speak and to sing.
Raeleigh asked her brother Patrick to baptize her. It was an amazing feeling to watch Patrick help Raeleigh in this saving ordinance. I am grateful that Patrick honors the priesthood. I am happy that Raeleigh chose to follow the example of Jesus Christ and to be baptized
Mom, Raeleigh and Daddy Craig.
Our family:
Morgan, Samantha, Patrick, Mom, Dad
Stuart, Raeleigh, Jordan
Samantha gave a talk on the Holy Ghost. She did a nice job. Samantha was also able to mark off one of her personal progress experiences after giving the talk.
Grandpap, Grandma S, Patrick, Aunt Joy
Austin and Raeleigh. I love how Raeleigh has her arm around Austin in this picture.
Grandma gave a talk baptism. The talk was one of the best I have heard.
Grandma C sand "A Child's Prayer" with Morgan and Raeleigh. Of course the song was beautiful.
Raeleigh, a beautiful and clean daughter of God. Look at that happy smile.
Daddy Craig confirmed Raeleigh a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Brother Loney, Grandpap, Brother Durgin and Brother Manchester also stood in the circle.
The spirit I felt was peaceful and strong. I am grateful that Raeleigh chose baptism. I am also grateful to the increase of testimony I experienced watching her baptism and listening to her confirmation.

Congratulations, Raeleigh!
Wow, Christina! She looks more and more like her dad, just like Sam.
