Jordyn's Baptism!

What a special day! I feel so grateful and full of thanks for such supportive family and close friends. Jordyn had a wonderful and special baptism day! I hope she always remembers it...at least some of her feelings from it.

I loved the talks given by Gam and Grandma. I loved the notes everyone wrote her to put in her binder. I love the slideshow I made her with the song "What Heaven Sees in You". I love the people in the ward who stayed (and starved) after church to support us. I loved all the primary children singing "I Know That My Savior Loves me". I loved being able to help her change from her wet clothes...just she and I during those few minutes. I loved watching her....as a separate entity from me...have a special moment that was all HERS. I loved that the food BARELY fed everyone there afterward. And most of all, I love being Jordyn's Mom.

When we got home from church....I asked Jordyn to write a few things down about her special day. That was a lot to ask since she was tired, distracted by company and not in the mood....but here is what I got from her (I let her type it on the computer):

"Today I went to church. I got to get “BAPTIZED”!!!! It was SUUPPEEER FUN!! My family, friends, cousins, grandmas, grandpas and ALL the other people from my ward were there. I felt so so so so GREATFUL that I even felt the SPIRIT!!I got to read something that was short but it was about baptism. My cousins named Alyson & lyric read some too. It was a paper that talked about Jesus and how to obey him. My grandma Blasco gave the talk. The water was really warm when I got baptized. When I got in, people asked if the water was warm. It was fun getting baptized. When I was in class I um got some jolly ranchers and a book. Then I missed some of my class because I had to take pictures. I got confirmed by my dad he also baptized me.. My grandpas were there in the circle and my uncle I felt really happy."
