Jamie's baptism

We had a wonderful weekend with both sets of grandparents visiting to be a part of Jamie's baptism. Grandma Taylor gave a talk about baptism, and Grandpa O'Dwyer gave a talk about the Holy Ghost. Both shared their testimonies and the spirit was felt so strongly. Jamie seemed to be touched quite a bit by their words. Derek baptized and confirmed Jamie. Adam said an opening prayer, Grandma O'Dwyer gave the closing prayer and Hannah played the piano for all the songs we sang. Both grandpa's were witnesses to the baptism and participated in the confirmation. We felt blessed to have the support of many ward members and friends who came for the service.

Jamie in a pretty white dress that Grandma Taylor had given to Hannah when she was baptized. Then Mackenzie wore it two years ago, and now Jamie. Hopefully it will last through all the girls
