baptismal pictures

My nephew (Jeremy's sister's son) is getting baptized very soon.  As a gift, we'd sent a keepsake baptismal book (for autographs, pictures, letter, documents, etc.).  My sister-in-law asked me if my two girls, who've already been baptized, could sent Jackson a letter reminiscing about their day.  Parker and McKenna wanted to participate in the activity.  Before I put the letters in the mail, I took a picture of each for my own keepsake.

Allison wrote (excuse the techical difficulties on the sideways view):
Dear Jackson,
I'm so glad you decided to get baptized.  By getting baptized you are one step closer to living with Heavenly Father forever!  I remember when I was baptized.  Descending the steps in to the warm, clear water.  Taking my dad's hand.  Hearing the words of the prayer as the words of my Heavenly Father.  Finally, I was fully immersed, and when I came up I was forgiven of my sins.  I was pure and clean.  When I was ready, I walked in front of all the people attending in my white baptism dress.  The dress was white and elegant, made by my Grandma Wood.  Near the end, I sat in a chair at the very front.  Some priesthood holders gathered around me.  They put their hands on me and gave me the blessing of the Holy Ghost.  I use the Holy Ghost to make the right decisions, and I know you will, too!  Each Sunday you can become pure and clean again if you remember your baptismal covenants.  I know I will remember my baptism for eternity.  Hope you have a special day!!!
Love,
Allison Dastrup

Dear Jackson,
I am so happy for you because that is choosing the right thing to do.  I remember when I was baptized.  I was so excited!  It was two years ago!  The water was warm and it was on a Saturday.  I ate cookies at my baptism.  They were shaped as a butterly and flowers.  they were so good.  A lot of my friends and family came.  I got two presents.  One from my friends which was a rooster made out of yarn and from my family, the scriptures.  Most people get them when they get baptized.
Love,
Madison
