Having the missionaries over tonight for Christmas eve, along with Travis, a new member of our ward. Got some more snow, and Teresa and I spent a bit of the morning shoveling the driveway.
Sunday was Allie's baptism, which included Rachel Butler, another 8-year old girl. She looked very sweet in her white dress. The dress came out of the water a bit during the baptism, so I had to do it a second time. I held her near the bottom of the font for a second to make sure that she was completely submerged. She later said that she did not mind because she is very good at holding her breath.
I'll always remember what a cold evening it was for her baptism. The kids were freezing going just the short distance from the van to go into the church building. It was below zero, and even colder than that if you count the wind chill. I don't really believe in counting the wind chill, though, because wind is so highly variable from one spot to another (are you in an open field, next to a wall, or near a group of trees?) I think it's all just a scheme by the media to make the weather sound more exciting.
Anyways, the baptism was very nice, and it included the song "I Feel My Savior's Love", sung by Courtney and Allie with Megan and Rachel Butler.
I worked home yesterday because nobody was in the office and the snow was so bad. I'm off now until January 2-- yay! It's been a busy time at work.
Merry Christmas!
