It's GREAT to be EIGHT!!!

Sierra looked like an angel in her beautiful white dress!
Ashton is wearing a baptism sticker on his shirt that he got in his church class.
Today at church, the Bishop asked Sierra and Faith to come up to the podium and he announced to the congregation that they were baptized yesterday and that they were the newest members of our ward. Several members of our Ward approached Sierra and said "Congratulations, can I shake your hand". They were all so sweet!
I helped in Ashton's class and his teacher, Sister Moyes was asking the kids if they want to share anything. It was Ashton's turn and I asked him "don't you want to share something" he said "no I didn't bring anything" I told him he should share with his class something special that happened yesterday. He thought for a minute and then said "my sister got baptized". Sister Moyes was so excited because her lesson was on baptism so she was asking Ashton what color Sierra was wearing and who baptized her and Ashton was able to answer her questions. When class was almost over Sierra walked in because she usually comes to get Ashton and I told her I would be in there. Sister Moyes asked Sierra to be her special guest and told the kids "this is Ashton's sister, she was baptized yesterday, see how she is wearing all white, white is a symbol of being clean all of her sins were washed away and she has made a promise to our Heavenly Father that she will Choose the Right".
