So last Saturday was indeed a special day in the Brownell House. My third child Julia was baptized. So far so good, 50% of my kids are now baptized, hopefully that becomes 100% followed by 100% married in the temple, etc. I am really in awe of my life as I look around and see my family accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for that I was able to go into the water and baptize her. But I think I am even more thankful for the opportunity I had to lay my hands on her head and give her the greatest gift that she will ever receive in mortality, the gift of the Holy Ghost. I was amazed at how I felt, and how the words of her blessing flowed from my lips. I am always in impressed by the beauty of the Lord's words as it flows from the lips of those ordained to bless. Indeed we live in a great time of world, a time of great darkness for some, but great light for others. Here are some more pictures of that day (this is for you Michelle and Brandon!)

now that's what I'm talking about! thank you thank you..glad you got our note.
congratulations on the baptism..like sneaks up on us, doesn't it? zane's 5 now--he's scaring us to death, not just being a toddler any more but asking us questions like "where does rain comes from and why?" and "what is a bajillion?" :) I can't imagine 8..you all seem to be doing something right! maybe we'll just try to follow your lead.
I meant that life sneaks up, not like.
proofread, michelle.
