Abi's Baptism

Abi had been counting down to this day for over a year. I can't believe that I am old enough to have my baby baptized. I remember the little curly haired, brown eyed, chubby cheeked baby she used to be. She was baptized and confirmed on Saturday, June 6th by her father, Kristopher Meek, at the Kearney Stake Center. We had lots of family attend as well as her school teacher Mrs. Holcomb and her Primary teacher Sister Casper. Sis Nelson and Br. Queen from our ward gave excellent talks on Baptism and the Holy Ghost respectively. Then each of the children got to come up and be introduced by a member of their bishopbric. Br. Jolley was conducting from our ward and added that Abi is a great Wii boxer. Abi was a little nervous but she had practiced with her dad and as soon as she was back in the dressing room she told me "That was so easy!!!"
This is all of Abi's cousins ( minus Sterling who was hiding). Kris gave her a wonderful confirmation blessing and blessed her with many good things to come in her life. She told her dad that it was "too long." Afterward we came back to our home for a little luncheon of breakfast casserole, cinnamon rolls, and fruit that got rained out off our newly painted deck, but we all crowded into our little home and had a wonderful time. As I was putting Abi to bed that night she said " I can already feel the Holy Ghost."
