Liberty's Baptism

Elder Denton, Liberty and Elder Sitivi - our eleven year old neighbor who has been investigating the church for over a year...baptized the day after Thanksgiving - she asked me to say the closing prayer.

 Sabrina, and Sheriden with Libby - they were in my Primary class and have down a great job of fellowshiping Liberty.  They are in 7th grade and Libby in 6th grade and the first week of middle school I asked her how it was going - she said she couldn't get her locker open, but Sabrina comes down to help her!
 Isn't she pretty?  We are happy to be close and support her.
 This is blurry - but this is her friend Shelleen from her old neighborhood.  Shelleen was staying over at Libby's house this summer.  Both girls came over to our house to borrow an egg - - they were making cookies at Libby's house.  Libby asked us then if she could go to church with us - OF COURSE.  It was a little tricky at first.  Our meeting at the YSA ward begins at 11:30 - so Sacrament was over at 12:40.  Then we would hurry across town to walk over to pick up Liberty and go to our home ward at 1:00 pm.  Then we would go back to the YSA wards RS and Priesthood meeting.   We did that for a couple of months.  When we were out of town, I asked Sheridan and Sabrina to do it - Libby lives right next door to the chapel across the street from our house. After a while she goes by herself and we stay at our YSA ward.
Happy smiles all around - love the picture of the Good Shepherd in the background.  Elder Sitivi is from Samao and is a little hard to understand sometimes.   Liberty will be confirmed on Sunday - we will be there.  What a wonderful way to celebrate Thanksgiving weekend!!
