Shelbi's Baptism

Shelbi Jo has been working with the missionaries this past year, and made the decision to be baptized. It was a very special and spiritual day for our family. We are so proud of her and all her accomplishments.

This was a poem that Darlene read to Shelbi during her talk on Baptism.

Shelbi's uncle, Tyler, was the one she chose to baptize her, and he did such a wonderful job. Shelbi put together her program, choosing some of her favorite hymns and who she wanted to speak. She had her Grandma Peterson and Darlene Petersen give talks and her little cousins sang "I am a Child of God" and she had Aunt Heather give the opening prayer and our cousin Mark give the closing prayer.

The spirit was so strong in the room, and there were many amazing family and friends there to show their support.

Here are some photos of her special day, her little brother was able to be there, and that really made her day too.


Getting a few pointers from Uncle Tyler and Aunt Heather

I'm so happy for Shelbi! It sounds like it was very spiritual and went just how you wanted it too. I like the pic of Tyler giving her some pointers on plugging her nose. :)
