Emmalee went forward on July 31, 2009 and accepted Jesus into her heart. We celebrated her baptism on Sunday, September 6, 2009. We had family and friends join us to witness this very special occasion. After church we returned home for a lunch and fellowship with more family and friends. It was an amazing day, and we are so thankful to all who have helped guide Emmalee towards this milestone in her life!
