I woke up on August 20th so excited!! Bryan came over and we got all ready and ate breakfast with my family. My baptism was at 4pm, I was so excited all day long. We went to the church at 3pm, and my good friend Jaclyn and her husband Brian met us there, Jaclyn was helping me change after the dunking. Everyone started coming in, I went and changed into my jumpsuit (the adult one was too big so I had to wear a kid one) and Bryan changed into his white attire. We took some pictures with friends and family, and people started pouring in.We first sat in the room, and Bryan gave a talk n baptism, and he did an experiment with water, food coloring and bleach, the water was me, and the food coloring was all of my sin, ( ha ha), and the bleach was the baptism making me clean again. Well, he put too much food coloring in, and it turned pink, so everyone was joking about how I was so bad that I couldn't be all the way clean. My friend Melissa gave the talk on the holy ghost, she did such a great job. We went into the bathrooms next to the font and Jaclyn came with me. Bryan had given me the low down and we had "practiced" that morning on what to do.
We stepped into the font and Bryan took my hand and said
"Taylor Janiel Rampton, Having been commissioned of Jesus Christ, I
baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen"
Then he dunked me.
I came up out of the waters of baptism, and it was a feeling that I will never forget,
I felt the most amount of peace that I've ever felt in my whole life.
I was so happy. I reached over and gave Bry a huge hug. I stepped out of the font and gave Jaclyn a huge hug as we are both crying because we are so happy. Jaclyn helped me change my clothes and then I went back into the room.
My dad stood up and I gave him a huge hug. I am glad that my parents were happy for me. After the program, so many people were coming up and hugging me, and telling me congratulations, some people that I had never met before. Bryans aunt and uncle even came down from Weber county and had only met me two times. My whole family was there, my parents, brother, grandparents and aunt and uncle and 2 cousins. It was an experience that I will never ever forget, and neither will Bryan. I am so glad I asked him to baptize me, we have a special bond, that other marriages don't have.
