Sara's Baptism

My brother's wife, Sara, was baptized on Saturday. She has a very strong testimony and is eager to be the best member of the church she can be. She is what missionaries describe as "golden". I was shocked when she called me last month and said she had been praying to know what to do in her life and her prayers were answered as she listened at a Fast and Testimony meeting when they came to visit in September. Since then, she and Jakob have met with the missionaries and attended church as much as possible. Jakob was able to baptize Sara because during this process, he chose to be active in the church once again. It is WONDERFUL to have every member of my family (including spouses) be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with strong testimonies.
These are my wonderful siblings (in age order), Kristi, Me, Jakob, and Morgan.

Sara is the sweetest/smiliest person I know and she will be a blessing in the church as well as be blessed by her decision to be baptized.

Jakob and Sara are eagerly looking forward to going to the temple and being sealed together next year.

My mom and dad with Sara and Jakob. Sara's parents and sister were there to support her too. The program was very spiritual and is a special moment in my family's life.

That was an amazing baptism. I am sooo glad I got to come and witness that event for both Sara and Jakob.
