Today was sweet Ellie’s golden 8 birthday, and she got baptized! It was so fun celebrating with friends and family and our ward.
It was one of those days that I didn’t have all the answers on specifics as to how things would happen because I don’t know the customs and traditions, but I am so proud of Ellie for being adaptable and willing to roll with things being different from what maybe thought. The important part was the covenant she made with her Heavenly Father, and the rest was really fun fluff. In Lorelai’s words, “my sisters birthday was the best day ever!” I’m so grateful for a worldwide church in our travels!
