Luckily, Zach's sister just bought a house on a lake and offered that we could use her house and lake for the baptism.
Family and friends gathered together for Adelie's special day. Grandpa gave a short message while Grammie used her puppets to share a children's message.
Adelie shared her written testimony and recited the 23rd Psalm before confirming her desire to be baptized.
Adelie's testimony
Although it was the end of September, we lucked out with a relatively warm day, and Adelie said the water was not too cold.
It was so special having Grandpa be the one to perform Adelie's baptism.
Adelie's faith has always been so sincere, and it was such a wonderful moment watching her make this big decision in her life.
Adelie was supported by her grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
Her closest friend, Stella, came with her mom to be there for Adelie.
It was wonderful having all the cousins there as well.
What a great day we had celebrating Adelie's faith.
My prayer is that each of my children will make the choice to follow Jesus and will continue to grow in their faith. Seeing Adelie express her faith through baptism was an answer to this prayer. I love her sweet heart and her sincere faith, and I hope that her understanding and reliance on God's truths will remain foundational in her life.
