Great To Be Eight

The start of the new year meant for Reganne the start of her baptismal year. Last Sunday night our ward had the annual Great To Be Eight Program. Many wards have discontinued this activity, but I am glad our ward hasn't. All the kids turning eight this year are invited to a special program to discuss what will happen when their birthday comes and that special day. They talk about the Bishop's Interview, Clothing, dressing rooms, and finally the font.

The room was full of energy with 20 kids and parents attending. You could have heard a pin drop when the opened the doors to the font for everyone to see. The stake couple asked if they had any questions the room was silent.

They sent home special reminders for the kids with their date on it. Reganne's special day will be November 10th.

We are all excited for her and can't wait until then to share with everyone. So please make your calendars now for a trip to St. George.
