Caramel's Baptism

Caramel was baptized on May 9th, 2015 at the Renton Stake Center.
She turned the age of accountability, 8 years old, in April.
She was baptized by immersion like Jesus.
Her father was able to baptize her.
She is officially a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
At the beginning of the baptism, Caramel and 3 other children were introduced.
Then the Stake Primary Presidency talked about Baptism and the Holy Ghost.
Sister Becky Wright talked about the Holy Ghost.
She was Caramel's Primary teacher for a couple years in the Tiffany Park ward.
Then Caramel was the first to be baptized.

Caramel received a towel with her baptism date on it from the Primary.
Caramel selected her own scriptures and bag with her name on them.
She received a pink CTR ring.
Caramel felt a little nervous about getting baptized before leaving the house.
After Caramel was baptized, Brother Gilman conducted and Anthony confirmed Caramel.
Blessing her on her journey through life having the Holy Ghost guide her to make correct choices.
Brian Gilman from the bishopric, Dan Kidd, Tom Andelin, Brian Ellis, and Joe Davidson were in the circle for the confirmation.
Rhett and Myles tried to sing, "I am a Child of God."
But were too nervous and silly so everybody sang.
Tom Andelin shared some remarks to Caramel about being the oldest in her family and setting the example and always having the Holy Ghost with her.
Anthony baptized her once, no mistakes, nice job.
The two witnesses were my Dad and Tom Andelin.
The Stake Primary gave Caramel a journal that Dad and Mom wrote their testimonies in.
Caramel is creative, social, and silly.
Family friends- Andelin, Burke, Ellis, Epperson, Davidson, and Hanes attended.
Grandpa Neil was able to fly up from California to see Caramel's baptism.
Grandma Brenda was able to attend too.
She left the next day to return to Utah after staying for 3 and a half months.
The two Grandpas and Caramel.
At the very end, we had brownies (Caramel's favorite), cookies, oranges, and grapes.
We went to Red Robin for lunch to celebrate with the two Grandpas.
