Turning Eight

Evelyn turned eight years old last week.  That means she is old enough to be baptized.  She's quite excited to do so as well.  But, uh oh, there was a bump in the road.  The Gourley family has Covid-19 in their home and would not be able to attend.  Since they had been together, the Fillmores made the decision to hold off and quarantine just in case.
Sammi had Cierra make the painting below.
Evelyn is such a tender hearted little girl.  She desires to be helpful and she also wants to do what is right even when it is difficult.  How we watching all of our grandchildren grow and mature and become such good people.  
When we take the opportunity to be baptized it really is like taking the Savior's hand and letting him lead us.  He is with us through the most difficult things in life and stays with us even when we feel we are all alone.  He makes it possible to go where he wants us to go.
We won't be attending Evie's baptism in person but we will be there virtually.  What a blessing that technology makes it possible!
