Cherakie's Baptism Day

Cherakie celebrated her special day Saturday.  She awoke early and asked me to help her fill out her tithing envelope.  Then started whining at the thought of being mature enough to fast.  These last couple months choosing to fast before her time wasn't so bad.  Now however, she wasn't going to fast, she was going to starve.  She liked being the only one eating on fast sunday.

As Roy and I set up for the luncheon, I received a call.  Normal.  I usually don't make it out of Hyrum to go anywhere before she calls me.  Cherakie was at home making a scrapbook for Amee so she would be good at her baptism.  That brought tears to my eyes.  On CK's special day she was thinking of making someone else's day better.  Truly understanding the meaning of being baptized into this gospel - bearing one another's burden and standing as a witness of Christ.  She was going about the more needful thing. 

Because Beauty knows no pain :-).  And yes we did forget the hair do medicine (advil)!

CK shared her day with her friend Kyson (and Benji haha).  They shared a special day once before.

Cherakie cried while I dressed her.  The water was so cold.  It wasn't until she heard Kyson come out and express how cold it was that she started giggling. 

We had many friends and family visit and celebrate with us.

The great Grandmas - Norma Seamons and Joan Humpherys.  I think Ck has her mouth full in every picture.

Cherakie I am so proud of you for choosing to be baptized.  I am grateful for the testimony you bore to me while we got ready.  You truly knew what this day was all about.  Love you.
