Hannah's Baptism


Hannah's day started off with rain! But it was such a great day it didn't even put a damper on it. Hannah wanted to invite her friends from school to her baptism. She had 3 of them come with there parents! What a great example Hannah is to her family! She had a wonderful turn out with friends, neighbors, family, and many of our family ward members her in Moraga. Bishop Sorenson conducted, Grandpa Bob baptized and confirmed her, Uncle Troy was a witness/gave the baptism talk/printed the invites and programs! Aunt Colleen gave the talk on the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Sister Gwilliams played the piano. Sister Johnson lead the music. Hannah girlfriends from her primary class sang When I am Baptized. Haleigh and Alexandra sang I'm trying to be like Jesus. Grandma Sharon gave the closing prayer and I gave the opening prayer. We had a great lunch afterwards and lots of treats. Grandma decorated a beautiful cake with Hannah's picture on it. It was such a wonderful day and setting at the Oakland Temple a day Hannah will never forget. She was so excited! Infact she said as she was going in the water "I am so excited! I am finally getting baptized!" What a change from 5 years ago when she yelled at Brandon's baptism as he was coming out of the water " I don't ever want to get Baptized!" I am so proud of Hannah!
