Erin's Baptism..

So this was a little while ago but on November 25, 2008 my friend Erin got baptized. She has been investigating the church for a really long time now and she finally was able to be baptized. She has known this was what she wanted for awhile now but it was really important to her to have her parents on board with it. She grew up in a catholic family, went to catholic school so this was a difficult thing for her family to wrap their heads around. After years of investigating and going taking the missionary discussions which a small group of us participated in, naming ourselves the fun group, her parents had one last request. They wanted Erin to visit other churches first so we started going to different churches on Sunday mornings before we went to our ward and finally her parents said she could do it. It was a really special day and I am really so happy for her and so glad that I got to be a part of it.

Erin was baptized by Kyle Fields, who happens to be her boyfriend as well. It was really special for them both. There was a really nice program and Julie, Sylvia and I got to sing Come Thou Fount which is a beautiful song.

Sis Warner came up with this clever idea to make her a "COMFORTER" and we all signed it because the Holy Ghost is our Comforter..

I love Erin and I am so happy that she was able to make this decision.. She has helped me so much to strengthen my testimony and I am so grateful for her..

Baltimore..

We took a trip to Baltimore with my friends Abby and Sylvia.. It was really fun.. we just walked around Inner Harbor and took pictures and watched a street performer.. Shopped a little bit and had lunch.. It was fun..

I had a lot of fun with Melinda here.

Kissing Fish..

So while Melinda was here we went to Alexandria to get Dr. Fish Pedicures. It's the only place in the U.S. that does it so I figured she should do it while she was here.. You stick your feet in a tank full of these little fish. I'm not positive what their actual name is but it is a type of carp known as the kissing fish and they just nibble away at the dead skin on your feet.. It tickled way bad when we first put our feet in there but then you get used to it.

I also had to put my hands in there cause I wanted soft hands too..
