Wow! I still can't believe it. My Alyssa was baptized. She looked so beautiful and was so excited to be baptized today. She is such an amazing little girl. I amso proud of her today. It is always so amazing to see Jose give his kids blessings. It was especially neat to watch him baptize and confirm his daughter. There was an amazing spirit with her today and i'm so blessed to be her mom. We are so lucky to have the Gospel. I am grateful for it everyday.
Alot of her family and friends were there at her baptism. We shared the baptism with another little girl in the stake so the people that contributed to the program on Alyssa's side where:
