Isabel was so excited to be baptised a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She wanted her uncle Joseph to be there so we waited on her baptism for one month so he would be home from his mission in Switzerland. During that month she really had to learn what baptism meant to her. Grandpa Reese gave a great talk at her baptism about the promises and blessings that we make and recieve at baptism. She memorized it by heart and the next day in Sacrement mtg. she bore her sweet testimony about repentance and how happy she felt at following Jesus. I cried. At her baptism Isabel, Madeline, Anna, Bradon, and Kara (she was too scared to stand up with them but sang from her seat) sang "I like to look for Rainbows" and it was beautiful. Isabel also designed her pretty white dress. She drew me a picture and told me NO frills. That little incident reminded Grandma Sandra of another little girl she knew...me. We were blessed to have lots of family come that day and support Isabel. It was a wonderful day, one I will remember and cherish. Grandpa Thorpe noticed that she didn't waste any time changing into her "holy" jeans.
