Baptism Preview

Wow! I cannot believe that Brianna is almost 8! She has grown up so much all of a sudden. She is such an independent, strong willed, creative child. She loves to create and write stories and songs. She loves dancing. She is an excellent reader and smart child. She likes to excel and win. She loves being with her friends and playing with her new American Doll she named Bri because she looks like her twin.

So we went to her Baptism Preview last night along with the other 18 8 year olds in our ward that will be baptized this year! We found out about the Faith in God program they will work on from Sr. Jackson. Brother Talbot spoke about Baptism and the Holy Ghost. Sr. Melissa Contreras told us about the Activity Days program she will join. And Sr. Allyson Tack gave us all the details, what to expect, how to plan etc. for her actual baptism day. She recieved a great packet filled with journal type pages for her to complete as she prepares for her babtism and for her to record the special details of the day itself.

So currently we are set to have her baptism at the Austin TX Stake Center on May 19, 2012 with Caden Gilliam. What an exciting event to plan for! I wonder if she will want to wear my old baptism suit or if she will want her own. I wonder about the special dress that of course we will have to make for her. but most of all, I wonder if she is ready for this big step and if she will remain true to her commitments. Have I taught her enough to prepare her for this? and so on! So many questions! My baby girl is growing up too fast!
