Eliana's Baptism

When Eliana chose to be baptized she asked that she be baptized in Pennsylvania so her cousins could also attend.  It was a very special day full of love and of the spirit and we were so grateful to share it virtually with family members far away.

Eliana was involved with every detail.  She designed the program, selected the songs, asked specific individuals to offer talks and prayers, and even accompanied the special song.  Initially she requested that the cousins sing one of her favorites, "America, the Beautiful" but when she started learning "Angels We Have Heard on High" she asked if they could sing that instead.

Eliana has a big heart and a very tender spirit.  Often when we are discussing scriptures as a family, her voice will get filled with emotion as she shares what she understands of her Savior.  We are so blessed to have her in our family, she is growing as a peace maker and her love of scriptures is blossoming and teaching us so much everyday.
