Abby"s Baptism

Pictures are not allowed during the actual baptism because it is sacred, but it is done by immersion the same way Jesus was baptized. I added the picture as an illustration if some of you haven't been to an LDS baptism before.

At the temple after, we went to take some pictures of our beautiful girl

Abby made the decision to be baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She is such a good girl and was so excited to do it. She was waiting forever, and once the time got close she kept saying "I can't believe it's finally time!" She had picked out her dress on our 4th of July trip (thanks Grandma Jane) and we also got her first set of scriptures. Of course, she picked out a hot pink, sparkly case for them. She was able to be baptized on the same day as a few of her freinds, so that was nice. The service was good, and we went first. Abby was excited about all of it. She was happy the water was more shallow than she had imagined. Scott did a good job, and they looked great together in white. After the baptism we all went to the County Fair to the mud bog, but it was hot so a lot of us came back. Scott's parents, grandparents, brother and his wife came down, along with all our Watson Nieces and nephews. My mom was still here, too. It was fun to have everyone together. Adding to the fun, a tractor broke a gas main across from our back yard, so we go to evacuate for a few hours. After all that, we took our food up to a campground and enjoyed the cool temperatures and the trees and deer wandering through camp. It was a good afternoon. everybody stayed for part of church the next morning and then headed home. My mom flew out Monday morning, as well. So the house is quiet. well, as quiet as it gets around here. We are so proud of Abby and thankful to have family and friends to support her.
