Halsey's Baptism



Halsey came home a couple of weeks ago and told us that she had been saved. Halsey had expressed for years (since she was about 5 years old), that she wanted a personal relationship with Jesus. After this last experience we knew it was time....and asked her if she was ready to be baptized. She said yes. So on Wednesday, August 8, she was baptized by her Grandpa B., at the home of her Grandma and Grandpa S., with her aunts and uncles, Grandparents from both sides and her Great Grandma J. (from South Dakota) present. It was a wonderful experience.

It is a deeply spiritual thing to be surrounded by your family while your child commits her life to Christ.

Derek and I could not be prouder of Halsey. She is a wonderful example of why the Bible compels us to have the faith of a child.
