Grace was baptized on Easter Sunday. It was a joyous day for Derek and I. Grace had asked to be baptized for over a year. We wanted to make sure she really understood what it means to say you are a christian. The night before she was baptized Derek sat her on our bed to talk to her. He said tomorrow I will ask you a couple of questions in front of everyone. She made one of her many faces. He went on to say, "I will ask you why you want to be baptized and what will you say?" She said, "that I believe in Jesus." Derek said, "well a lot of people believe in Jesus but to be baptized we are telling everyone we are chosing to follow Jesus." She said, "Oh, well, I have been doing that for a long time now! We giggled together and realized she completely understands. We are so proud of her!
