Adriana's Baptism



Adriana's baptism was such a special day. Grandma and Grandpa Stephenson and Grandma Svetlana all flew out for it. Grandpa gave a great talk about baptism using a lot of pictures and making it really at Adriana's level of understanding. Grandma Svetlana bore her testimony, and Grandma Lori gave her neat talk about the Holy Ghost with a treasure box full of gems fro mthe scriptures about all ways we are blessed by the Holy Ghost. A lot of friends from our ward took time out of their busy Saturday to attend her baptism and support her. I was really touched by the thought that Heavenly Father loved us so much, that He not only gave us the freedom to make choices in this life, but also a way to repent of our sins when we make wrong choices and become clean again so that we can enjoy the presence of the Holy Ghost and live worthily to return to Him after this life, through the Atonement of His Son, Jesus Christ.
