Addie’s Day

Adelaide turned eight in April and was baptized May 1st. I served a mission for the LDS church and baptisms are special. In Brazil, many people listened to what we shared and then decided for themselves what path they wanted, whether baptism or thanks but no thanks. When it came to baptism, it was, at times, rollercoaster like. As missionaries we’d be so excited for their next step, and then dashed when they chose otherwise.

Addie’s baptism was the easiest baptism, by far, I’ve ever been apart of. It took eight years (smile), but what a great day. The gal was beaming. She and James Mair have a very cool connection—father daughterly sure but friends as well. Some pictures from that day.

Did you eat the beans? Sorry if you didn’t know their fate.

Love your brown polka dot dress! I think the bean clean-up should have been part of your paint tutorial.
Looks like a great day -- I wish we could have been there.
