Baptism - Superhero Julia

In our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints) when a child turns eight years old they can choose to be baptized, receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and official become a member of the Church. More information on our beliefs about baptism can be found here or here.

Julia turned 8 in November and so she had the opportunity to be baptized today. She was a little nervous, but super excited. There were five other children her age from this area who were also getting baptized at the same time, so there were actually a lot of people there for the program. It was a wonderful evening. Our family sang a song, Grandma Little gave a short talk, there were a couple other talks and songs, and then the ordinances. I was very proud of the decision Julia had made to be baptized and become a member of the church.

Julia (8) is my superhero today for setting a good example for her younger brothers and sister.
