I think most of my blog followers know that I belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints better know as "Mormon". We believe when you turn 8, you are at the age of accountability and can choose to be baptized as a member of the church.
Sunday night we went to the baptism preview for all the children turning 8 this year. Allison will be turning 8 May 4th and she has decided that she wants to be baptised on her birthday (which falls on a Saturday). During the baptism preview we learned what it means to be baptised, and how its a important desicon. The children got to see the baptismal font and learn the process. They also received personal bags with special items: journal, towel, a booklet of information. Allison was so excited to be surrounded by her friends. She has been writing in her little journal ever since. All I have to say is let the planning begin for her big DAY!!
What an awesome day that will be!!!!
