Hannah’s Baptism

My sweet little Hannah was baptized today.  Such a wonderful experience!

For the program, her and the other little girl who was getting baptized, sang “If The Savior Stood Beside Me” by Sally DeFord.

If the Savior stood beside me,
would I do the things I do?
Would I think of His commandments,
and try harder to be true?
Would I follow His example?
Would I live more righteously
if I could see the Savior standing nigh,
watching over me?

If the Savior stood beside me,
would I say the things I say?
Would my words be true and kind
if He was never far away?
Would I try to share the gospel?
Would I speak more rev’rently
if I could see the Savior standing nigh,
watching over me?

He is always near me,
though I do not see Him there,
And because He loves me dearly,
I am in His watchful care.
So I’ll be the kind of person
that I know I’d like to be
if I could see the Savior standing nigh,
watching over me.

I think I have a new favorite Primary song!  Two beautiful girls, (who happened to be wearing matching dresses), bearing their testimonies through song.  The Spirit was so strong in there!  Their voices were so clear!  She did such a good job!  (She was SO nervous about it, though!)

Isn’t she pretty?!  I LOVE my sweet Hannah!

CUTE!

When she was baptized, it was amazing!  Such a wonderful feeling that comes into the room- I can’t even begin to describe it.  To see her step into the water, and watch her Dad baptize her, and bring her up out of the water!  SO wonderful!  When I went to help her out of the water, she looked up at me with those BIG, beautiful blue eyes and gave me a gorgeous smile!  I hugged her sweet, wet head…  I LOVE THIS GIRL!  What would I do without her?!

Hannah, I am so thankful to be your Mother!  I am SO thankful for your sweet, sensitive spirit!  I am so thankful that you will be mine forever!  And, I thank our Heavenly Father for you and your brothers and sisters all the time.  Thank you for being such a good girl!  You are a wonderful example to me, your Dad, and your siblings!  Honestly, I don’t know what we would do without you!  We love you so much!
