Aubrey with her Daddy, who baptized and confirmed her a few minutes after this picture was taken.
Gary and I were there, of course, and also had our picture taken with our sweet granddaughter. Grandpa Bascom (Gary) was one of the speakers for the baptism program. He spoke on Receiving the Holy Ghost.
Many of Aubrey's relatives were also present for the baptism and the get-together afterward at Julie and Todd's home. Those who were able to come were as follows: Blake and Alex Dyson, Brad Williams and his girl friend, Ashley Marie, Todd's mother, Connie Hayes and her husband, Norm, and Todd's Dad, Don Dyson, who gave the closing prayer, Dave and Kathy and Emily Whittle, Loree and Christianne and Bryan Bennett, Ron and Jana Tuttle and their boys, McKay and Connor, Mike Bascom and his kids, Austin, Cody and Mistee, Tom and Holly Brandner and Chase, Riley and Kade.
Aubrey was so excited about her baptism, and even participated on her own program by singing a baptism song with her brother, Alex and Shaylee Shouten, who was the other child being baptized that day, and all three of Shaylee's brothers and her sister.
The closing song was When Jesus Christ was Baptized, which ends with these special words which summed up the experience for Aubrey:
"And now when I am baptized
I'll follow His example
Be baptized by immersion
Through sacred priesthood pow'r.
Then I will be a member
Of Heavenly Father's kingdom
And have the Holy Spirit
To guide me every hour."
