Baptism

Brynlee brought home a few school writing assignments today.  There was one titled, My Baptism. I thought it was sweet.

My Batptism

by Brynlee

I’m going to write about the time I was baptised. I was very exsited, in fact I was so exsited I couldn’t even sleep. I woke up at 6:00 in the morning. I got dressed in my baptisom dress. Then ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, comed my hair, and went to the church. Then I waited. People talked and talked.

Then we finey whent to get babtised. The water was warm. I felt happy. It was the best day ever! I loved it!

The end.

And then there was this one from her journal. (journal, not a diary. which means moms are allowed to look. …says me, that's who.)

My Baptison

3-29-14

I am going to write about my baptism. I woke up and feed my fish that I got for my birthday. Then I ate toast for breackfast. After I ate I got my clothes on, hair combed, teeth brushed, and hopped in the car. My dad and I came a hour early, to find a jump suit to wear. We had to wait and the floor was very coald. When everybody was there we sang a song. The song was Baptism. This was the secent time I had sang it. Then we said a prayer. After that a lot of people talked and than anether song and prayer. Then anether bunch of people bare there testamony. Then we did a song and prayer. By this time we sang a song and said a prayer. Then we went to get bapised. Then I did get baptized and confermed. It was fun. After that we came home and had lunch. While we ate my dad siad: did you like getting baptized 2 times. becese the frist time my feet came up. Yes, I said.

P.S. I forgot a cuple of things I wanted to say. The water was warm.

I am so proud of Brynlee. I love her so much, and I am so proud of her decision to be baptized.

And for the record … she had to get baptized twice, not because her feet came up, but because her daddy messed up on one of the words in the baptismal prayer. I can’t remember exactly, but I think he said for instead of of. Oops. But he made sure to reiterate to Brynlee how lucky she was because she got to get baptized twice – not all kids get to do that.

And also for the record, we need to work on the spelling of baptism.
