A few months before Olivia's baptism we started having more indepth conversations about baptism and her desire to be baptized was very clear. She wanted her Grandpa Campbell to talk on Baptism and our good friend Liz Garcia to talk on the Holy Ghost. After the baptism, we had everyone write notes to Olivia expressing their thoughts and feelings to her on her special day; in the hope that she could always cherish her baptism. Here are some of what was expressed to Olivia............
"Livi, I am so proud of you and for your choice to be baptized. It has been so nice watching you grow up. Remember you have one more white dress to wear and be sure to keep your promises you made today to be able to wear your next white dress in the Temple."
"Dear Olivia, Thank you for being such a good example to Rachel and Lucy. We are so lucky to have you as a neighbor. We are so proud of you and your decision to be baptized. You have just made a big step in life."
"We love you. It has been so fun to watch you grow up. I am so glad that we can share this day with you. You are a sweet girl!"
"Congrats On your baptism! Today is one of the most important days of your life. Today you have stepped foot on the path back to our Father in Heaven! Livy, I love you. I hope you know how important you are to our Heavenly Father's Plan."
Olivia, we love you so much. My life is so blessed because your in it, you are such a good example to your brothers and sisters. Your desire to follow Jesus, and his teachings will be the most important thing you will ever do. I'm so glad all of our friends and family could be apart of this special day.
