A few weeks ago Kennedy turned eight. We believe 8 to be the age of accountability and that also means that she is now old enough to be baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You can read more about our beliefs on baptism here.
So November 11th was the day. It was a little different in that it wasn't a Stake event. Kennedy was the only one being baptized on this night and so we had to make sure we let everyone know when and where and have everything in order. Our ward is awesome and lot's of family and friends came to support Kennedy.
Even more special was her Grandma and Grandpa Jensen and Aunt Tara and cousin Laynie who came all the way from Idaho. It meant so much to Kennedy (and her parents) to have them here! It was hard not having all of our family with us but it made such a difference having these special guests here. It felt like the special event that it is.As I helped Kennedy get dressed I couldn't help but think about how it seems like the last 8 years have all gone by inexplicably fast. We are so proud of Kennedy and the girl she has become. She is a kind, smart and thoughtful girl who I know will continue to make us proud.
Love you Kennedy!
