On March 8, 2008, Katelynn was Baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I was lucky enough that she picked me to perform the baptism. As we got into the font, and everyone gathered around to watch, I was overwelmed by the Spirit, and I totaly forgot what I was supposed to say. I was standing there in the water, asking Katelynn if she remembered what she was to do, all the while trying to remember the baptismal prayer, and having no luck. I said a little prayer myself, looked up to Tim Anderson, our first counsler in the Bishopric, and said"ok how does this start?" He said with her full name, and as he said it, it all came back to me, I calmed down settled my emotions, and performed the baptism. After we got out to change, which by the way was funny because we forgot the towels at home, we listened to the speakers who were there, and then we confirmed Katelynn and presented her the Holy Ghost. Again, standing in the circle, surrounded by men called of God, I was again overwelmed by the Spirit, this time enough to bring tears, I had to stop and gather myself before continuing, but I finished with the blessing. That was a very emotional time and one that will not soon be forgotten. Congrats Katelynn on your Baptism, and remember now you are accountable for all you do, but also Heavenly Father loves you and is happy at the choices you have made.
