Nashville Trip - Part 4, Julie's Baptism

That same day as Whitney's baptism, Julie was baptized.

She's the oldest of the quads and should have been baptized first, but due to illness and difficulty in finding a date that worked for everyone, she had to wait a bit.

With her parents and sisters.

I gave the talk on baptism and talked about how baptism is a link that we forge in a sort of chain that connects us to Heavenly Father. I had plans to talk about how strong a chain was and how that chain could provide us with safety as a result. I even brought Abby's lead rope to show Julie since it had a chain on one end.

The oldest quad with the youngest quad. (Ian is also the tallest of all four of the kids.)

Well, when I held up that chain and asked Julie if she knew what chains were used for, Susie piped up loudly, "To trap you and imprison you!" 

Needless to say, everyone burst into laughter. I'd thought that the negative aspect of chains might come up but not like that!
