Baptism of Elise

Here is Elise and her family before the baptism.

Here is a picture of us waiting after the baptism.

Grandpa, Grandma, Mariah, Wendy, Lance, Derek, Nicole,

Kaitlyn, Tyler, Landon, Kedryn and me.

Behind us are Rod's mother, brother, and one of Elise's cousins.

Here is a picture of the Otteson family after the baptism.

Here is Elise with all the cousins that were able to attend.

Koria, Kimball, Luke & Layne asked to come but it was to far away.

Dorrin was sick at home so Katrina & Ashlyn stayed home too.

Micah was sick at home crying because she couldn't come and Scott stayed to console her.

Elise, we are all proud of your decision to get baptized.  You have taken a very important step towards returning to our Heavenly Father.  You will make mistakes like we all do, but you can repent.  Jesus Christ has given us the greatest gift of all - He made it so we could receive forgiveness if we use the atonement correctly.  Each time we take the sacrament we get to renew our baptismal covenants.  I hope you will remember this day when you take the sacrament and I hope you will receive the Holy Ghost into your life to help you.  You are very blessed to have such a great mom and dad to be your examples too.

Thanks for letting us share in your special day.

We love you ELISE!!!
