Regan and Lexi

Seth was recently called as the Ward Mission Leader.  It has always been his favorite calling and he is super excited about it.  Just a few weeks after getting his calling he noticed a young girl coming to church with some friends.

The missionaries came over for dinner that night and we decided to go over to their house and find out what her situation was. 

When we went over we found that Regan (the girl Seth noticed at church) and her sister, Lexi, had been coming to church with different friends.  Their mom, Jessica, is a less active member who was willing to let her girls take the discussions if they wanted to.  We set up an appointment right away and off we went.

The girls had great friends, Amara and Bella, who had been taking them all about the church, reading the scriptures with them.  Regan and Lexi knew it was something special and took the discussions and commitments seriously.  Jessica was so supportive and helped the girls along their way.

Just after a few weeks the girls set their baptismal date and were excited to invite all their friends and neighbors.  I of course was super excited for them too and helped in the planning.  We used the song, When I am Baptized, as inspiration for our rainbow theme.  The girls loved the theme and couldn't wait for their big day.

I went and did a little photo shoot with the girls for their big day.  They got all dressed up and posed for the camera.  They were eating it up! :)

 Their baptism was beautiful and had a sweet spirit and great attendance from all the friends and leaders.

 Lexi has become especially special to us.  She comes over a few times each week to hang out and play.  The kids were very happy for her on her special day.

 We had a fun open house for them, their friends, and family after the baptism.  I think that Jessica was most overwhelmed by the love and support her girls had gotten after only a few weeks.  It really was special occasion.
