On November 3, 2012, Alma chose to be baptised. It was a very special day shared by family and friends. This was a first in our little family and will always be remembered. It was Josh's first opportunity to baptize someone, and how awesome that it was our daughter. That morning she was kind of emotional, I think because of nerves. But I asked her what was wrong and she said "I wish I could stay little, I don't like growing up". She is such a cautious, caring person and she really thinks about things. She said she didn't like being the first to do things, because it's kind of scary not knowing exactly what to expect. So, Josh and I tried to help her see all the good things there are about growing up and being the oldest. And we told her that she was meant to be the oldest child in our family because she teaches Saralyn and Easton so much, and that Heavenly Father knew she would be a good helper. When we were done talking, she seemed to feel better and excited again about her special day.
