Amber's Baptism

Amber didn't seem nervous at all, she was giving me some fancy model poses while we waited in the back =)

Amber and I were waiting in the back behind a stack of towels.
There was one other little girl (she was Amber's age) who was baptised just before Amber and she slipped a little getting in so Amber was being very careful.

Pastor Andrew read Amber's testimony. I helped Amber by typing it out, but it's in Amber's words.
"I've been going to church since I was a baby. My first church was in Indianapolis where I was born, my second church was in Hanover PA, and Freedom is my church home now. When I was in Kindergarten I asked Jesus into my heart one night when I was in my bedroom alone. This year I felt that God asked me to get baptized so I talked to my mom about it and we prayed together. I talked to Mrs. Beth and Pastor Andrew about getting baptized and they both asked me questions and prayed with me I know that Christ gave his life for me on the cross. He died for my sins and then came back to life again three days later. I believe this and know that my baptism shows that I believe and I want Jesus to be a big part of my life. I know that God is with me all the time. So, here I am getting baptized, because God asked me to."


I was in the back with Amber so I got some behind the "scene" (so to speak) shots. I was using my new "chocolate" touch phone to take these's pic's with.

Mrs. Beth was taking pictures out front (with our camera) while Mike was taking a video (sorry, it's on one of the older cameras and can't be downloaded). I think we got plenty of pictures from just about every angle (hee hee)

As her head went down, her feet came up =)

After Amber's baptism she truly looked like a Princess . . . .
Actually. . . . more like prom queen, the Owasso prom queen (a fellow freedomite and fav. babysitter) put her crown and sash on Amber =) What a great picture and how appropriate =)
