Is there a better way to start a blog?

I've desperately been trying to determine what my first blog post should be about. Nothing I thought of felt worthy enough for me begin this oh-so-important first step in our blogging lives.

However, yesterday two of our friends, Kasie and Leslie, were baptized. I figure that there is no better way to start a blog than with a baptism. David and I were so blessed to have the opportunity to teach Kasie and Leslie the gospel in our home and, while Satan many times tried to drive us crazy, the spirit has also never been so strong in our home.

I spoke at the baptism yesterday and David had the opportunity to bless both of the girls today. The whole sequence of events has been wonderful and seems to have been one miracle after the other. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time to help Kasie and Leslie along their path to baptism.

I've included a picture from the baptism. Kasie is on the left, Leslie is on the right, and Elder Farnsworth is on the far right. Unfortunately the other elder who taught Kasie and Leslie, Elder Connors, was transferred two days before the baptism took place.

I also wanted to post a picture of our young women's program! I teach the Mia Maids and Laurels in our ward and just love it. We have a pretty small program (only two beehives, two mia maids, and one laurel) but the girls that we do have are amazing! I learn so much from them everyday.
