"This is the Greatest Day of My Life!"

That's the second thing that Zoë told me right after she got baptized. The first was that she felt "special" and really good.

We had a wonderful day with lots of friends and family. We were particularly glad that Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Becky and Nana and Grandma Winkie were able to come to Indiana for this occasion. We were also glad to have lots of friends from church, and even a neighbor come.

It was really an amazing day, as all baptism days should be. I love feeling the Spirit testify of the truth of things, and the peace and Joy I feel even more strongly on a day that I know brings joy to our Father. I am so grateful for my Savior and my Father in Heaven, that I have this Forever Family, and I'm grateful to feel the Holy Spirit and know that this Church is true, that we have the fullness of the Gospel, which gospel allows us to work to return to our Eternal Family with our Father in Heaven.

It's amazing to see my daughter grow in her own testimony, and see the strength and love she has and shares with others.

Zoë, thank you for this Greatest Day!
