And....... Better late than never- Jessie gets Baptized!

We wanted to wait until after Jessie had been home with us for awhile before getting her baptized to make sure she was comfortable with us and wouldn't be too scared of our Pastor, Larry when he held her up in front of the congregation.  Well, one thing led to another, and before we knew it, she had been home over four years and we still hadn't had her baptized! We figured enough was enough and scheduled it for a crisp Fall Sunday. 

Jessie with her Godparents, Joan and Arlen Amundson.  They gave her some beautiful red roses to let her know what a special occasion this really was.

 

All three of Joan and Arlen's Goddaughters.

Larry Kunter, our pastor at Harmony Presbyterian Church, did a really great job of making Jessie feel comfortable and helping her understand what baptism meant.

Saying a prayer for Jess.

Blessing Jessie's forehead with oil. 

Just for good measure, he blessed the rest of us again as well!

It was a very special day for one very special girl.  xo
