Elizabeth turned 8 on July 7th.
Eight years old is a significant milestone.
Especially in our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
At 8 years of age, one can become an official member of the church. At eight years old the children of our church enter the waters of baptism. This age is significant because it is the age of accountability, a time when children are able to understand how to choose right from wrong and be accountable for their actions.

Lizzie has looked forward to this day for a long time. She was able to receive her baptism interview by Bishop Chance Eckman, one of her favorite uncles.
Lizzie with her Dad
Elizabeth was baptized on Saturday, July 26th (my birthday) at Grandma and Grandpa Ashcraft's church in Sugar City, Idaho. She was surrounded by lots of family. Most of Ivan's family lives in that area, and many of my family members were there for the wedding of my brother the day before.
Elizabeth was blessed to be baptized by her dad. Grandpa Ashcraft and Grandma Dircks gave the talks at her baptism.
Elizabeth was so happy that one of her favorite cousins, Chanamy, was able to come to her baptism. She only wished her best friend, Abby, could have been there to see it.
