1st Baptism

i had my first baptism..it was awesome.. she was confirmed also...so thats exciting...she just absolutly loves the church and everything about it....and ya its that family with the lady that was almost dying...but she is all better now i think..she went to a new doctor and he fixed her up. and she is way strong. her daughter and grandson are members so it counted as a family baptism so that was awesome.

Did you do the baptizing? ya i did it!
