London's Baptism - June 2021

 

We had the most incredible experience at London's baptism. It was a much smaller group - with only my mom and Tyson's parents able to come. But it was so sweet and we jammed a lot it. 

The day of the baptism was pretty relaxed. We went right after another family in the stake - so everything was set up. All we did was set up a few decorations, change and give out the programs. It was awesome. 

The most amazing thing was how strong the spirit was. I remember with Sydney's I cried a  little bit while. standing by the font. But with London, I could not stop crying and neither could she. 

As soon she got baptized, she hugged her dad, walked up the font steps and was crying so hard. I hugged her wet body and told her "you are feeling the spirit". She could feel it so strongly. 

It was even stronger when Tyson was giving her the holy ghost. Tyson had meditated a lot on Saturday morning and had a very powerful blessing for London. Her blessing talked about her ability to know Christ, the qualities to look for in a spouse, her ability to be confident but confident. I totally broke down when he talked about her resilience.  Ever since her ADHD diagnosis and all the issue we have had and just her eczema, her broken arm, her struggles at schools and with friends .... the spirit spoke clearly to me that it would be with her through all her hard things. Christ know's London and London has a very strong ability to recognize him. 

It made me feel so comforted for her. The entire time Tyson was blessing her - she was also crying. The spirit was in ever ounch of her body. I hope she never forgets that. 

After, we had a light lunch at our house and we enjoyed custom cookies, sandwiches, fruit and other small snacks. It was a day filled with friends, family and focused on what matters the most.
