Britannia's Baptism

Our Family

Grandma and Grandpa Hinkins

Grandpa and Grandma Waite

Nancy and Dave Talley are Britannia's primary teachers, our neighbors, and our third set of grandparents. They have been so good to us in our time here in Cleveland. We will really miss them.

Such a sweet picture I had to add it!

Britannia was baptized April 30, 2011. Both sets of grandparents were able to come out to Cleveland for a last visit. Britannia chose to have Grandpa Hinkins baptize her and her dad confirm her. It was a very special day! After being baptized I asked her how she felt and she said, "cold". Later she said that it felt really good because she felt the Holy Ghost. She also felt really nice and comfortable. Her grandma's both gave really nice talks at the baptism. It was so nice to have our close friends there to support us as well. I'm really glad that we decided to do it here in the Mayfield ward before we moved to New York. Our ward has really been our family the past 6 years and we have really grown to love them all so much. Leaving them will be hardest part about leaving. I'm so proud of Britannia for making the choice to be baptized she is such a strong little spirit. She is a wonderful example to me everyday!

It was a wonderful day. We enjoyed being there. It's always hard to leave good friends and I know that it's been a hard 6 years, but it has also been a good growing experience for all of you. You will have so much to share when you finally settle in "your spot" after schooling and residency is over. What a cute family you have. We love you all.
