I'm finally getting around to taking pictures off of my camera. Maya's baptism was a few weeks ago, but better late than never. It was a very crazy day for a baptism, but it all worked out great. I started off my morning very, very early so I could run 20 miles and then be back to get kids ready. Maya was super excited for her big day. She had been hesitant in months past because she wasn't sure she wanted the responsiblity that comes with being a member of the church. I was very proud of her for taking this seriously and coming to the decision on her own. We tried to teach her the gospel and help her to choose for herself. She was still a little apprehensive, but willing to make the leap!
We had both my dad and Brian's dad in the font with Brian and Maya to help Brian baptize Maya. It's not everyday that the witnesses for the baptism are in the font with the person being baptized! It all worked out really well. Brian was able to baptize her without any problem.
Then the fun part was putting on the gorgeous dress. Maya and I spent lots of time on the internet finding the perfect dress. She was very happy with the end product. She felt like a princess and had a dress that was very unique!
We had lots of family support too that made Maya feel really special and very loved!
