To be like Him

Our main reason for going to California was to baptize Emily. It was really great having family and long time friends around to witness this great occasion. Emily has been looking forward to this for a very long time. Brandon was able to give the baptism talk and did a fabulous job. We all sang a song as a family ( I cried of course), and Aunt Kimmy gave the talk on the gift of the Holy Ghost. It was a very special night. What a great experience to see Spencer baptize his oldest. It's hard to believe that she is 8 already and is choosing to take on such great responsibilities. She is a great example to her younger brothers and sister. We are very proud to have her as our daughter.

It was such a wonderful evening. Emily looked like the princess she truely is. Daughter of a King. Brandon did a good job (so did Spencer). I loved the poster. Kim's talk was very touching and the Spirit was there the whole evening. I need to finish the book so, anytime the Hatch's want to give me pictures, I am ready.
