Kennedy's Baptism

     Layne and I have literally been trying to prepare Kennedy for baptism for years.  When she was 2 we taught her about baptism and took her to one of her cousins baptisms.  We excitedly told her that when she turned 8 she could be baptized too.  She adamantly told us that she would NOT be baptized.  This went on for at least three years and Layne and I started feeling like we were failing as parents. (Either that or we were raising a devil child).  Finally when Kennedy was 5 she admitted that the only reason she didn't want to be baptized was because she was scared of going under the water.  So, some swimming lessons and a few years of growing up and she has been excited to be baptized.  She did say the morning of her baptism that she was a little nervous....she gets embarassed easily.  It turned out great.  Layne and I, and a few others that know and love Kennedy, got really choked up.  We are so proud of who Kennedy is and the choices she is making.  We know she wants to do what's right and that she has a testimony of the gospel.  It's a pretty important and amazing thing to see your child be baptized.   We love you, Kennedy!
