Emma's Baptism

Emma was baptized by her dad on Saturday and was confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am so proud of her decision to enter into this covenant. Emma has an amazing spirit and has always tried to follow the Savior's example. She was very excited to finally be baptised. We had such a wonderful day with our family and friends who came to support her and show their love for her.

And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

Mark 10:39

Little children have a marvelous disposition to learn. They have total trust in their teacher, a pure spirit, and great humility—in other words, the same qualities which open the door to the Holy Spirit. He is the channel through whom we gain knowledge of the things of the Spirit. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:11)V>
Elder Gérald Caussé Of the Seventy
