Carly turned 8 in December and chose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Since Myles holds the Priesthood, he was able to baptize her.
Carly planned the program herself (some in English and some in German) and asked everyone she wanted to come and participate. Robyn played the piano for a couple of the songs.
People started referring to her as "The Princess."
The scripture on her program said, "...as ye are desirous to come into the fold of God, and to be called his people, and are willing to bear one another's burdens, that they might be light; Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those in the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life--
Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?
And now when the people had heard these words, they clapped their hands for joy, and exclaimed: This is the desire of our hearts" (Mosiah 18:8-10).

Congratulations Carly!!!!
We had Liberty's baptism recently too. I haven't gotten around to blogging about it---but I will. :)
How long are you in Germany? I need to figure out how to come visit!!!!!
Holy Cow! I can't believe Carly is old enough to be baptized, she is so sweet and pretty in her 'princess' dress...what a grown-up little girl!
Oh she looks so beautiful. I love her dress. I love the flowers. And that scripture is one of my favorites. It has taken on a whole new meaning since my father passed away.
Carly, congratulations. So very happy for you.
She does look like a princess. YOu don't look bad yourself; love the dress. What a special day!
You are a beautiful child of God Carly!
Congratulations! Big cinnamon roll hugs from the Shapiros!!!
I thought I just took pictures of Robyn for her baptism!!!! Carly is so beautiful and it looks like it was a beautiful day. Perfect Scripture. Ethan's baptism was so nice also. Up at our old 3rd south building on the 31st of Dec. Funny not to have the Watsons there.
We love you Carly.
