Addison's Blessing

 Yesterday, which was September 5th, 2010, we had Addison blessed. My Dad was the one who gave her her name and blessing. It was so sweet. My Grandma Banner made her blessing dress and my Grandma Carton made her blanket. We had so many family members and friends there to support us, which we are very grateful for. The spirit was so strong. We had the most amazing testimony meeting I think our ward has ever had after that and one of the sharers was my Mom. I was sitting next to my really good friend who is not a member of the church and as I was crying because of the warmth the spirit brought to me, I looked over at her and noticed she too was crying. It was so moving to see someone who is not a member who is in fact a very strong member of the catholic church be moved by a testimony spoken by a member of the LDS church about her knowledge of the LDS church. Then we went to Relief Society at my Grandmas ward with her. She is the Relief Society President and it was her Birthday. After that we went to her house to have lunch, cake and homemade ice cream. It was so nice to have friends and family there to celebrate so much life! What an amazing Sunday!
