On Sunday the 21st, we were thrilled to see Mia baptized. She had made the decision to trust Christ as her Savior back in February which was the best day for our family. JFBC does a special children's baptism service once a quarter, so we waited until now to participate in that. We were overjoyed that they church allowed Ryan to baptize Mia just as they had allowed him to baptize Lily a few years ago. What an incredibly special day. Our hearts were overflowing!
Mia was very excited to have two sets of her grandparents there!
When Mia was meeting with a JFBC staff person about her decision and desire to be baptized, they asked if she had any special adults that she wanted to come up and pray for her after the baptism. Very quickly she asked if Mrs. Mausz would be able to do that. Mrs. Mausz is the mother of Mia's sweet friend, Sophie, and Mia just adores her. She knows that Mrs. Mausz often prayers for her (and their classmates) because she leaves sticky notes on their desks letting them know that she's prayed for them. We were so appreciative that Mrs. Mausz came (with Sophie and Beckett) and said a lovely prayer for Mia at the service. We are so thankful for precious friends like this!
We were glad that Wayne, Molly and Zac were able to come celebrate with us, and we appreciated Mia's teacher, Mrs. St. Hill, coming as well.
We were thrilled that sweet Macey had also recently decided to trust in Christ and was baptized the same day. They have been friends since birth, but they are now sisters forever! How great that at the Henderson's request, the church allowed Ryan to baptize Macey too. What a special moment for Ryan! Our families were so excited for these girls!
We were so thrilled to have many friends here to support Mia. Logan and Eliana Payne, Rachael and Sarah Crowley, Sophie and Beckett Mausz, Mary Preston and Layne Harvey, and Danae St. Hill. We are so thankful for sweet friends!
What a wonderful day celebrating Mia's decision to follow Christ's example in baptism!
