Lucy's baptism

When Nate was baptized two years ago, Lucy began asking, "When can I get bath-tized?" We told her we would love for her to be baptized and would keep talking about it. The Bible tells us that baptism is not what saves us--it isn't a requirement for going to heaven. It's a public declaration that we believe in Jesus and desire to obey Him. Once we felt Lucy understood that, we said yes she could be baptized. 

Last Sunday was the day! She wanted her Grampy Ray to baptize her. She answered his questions before the church (I especially loved when he asked how the church could pray for her and she said, "That I would obey my parents.").
