Rachel Long Is Baptized

Rachel Long, daughter of Rhett and Suzie Long, stepped into the baptismal font at the Bloomington Stake Center on Saturday, April 29 to receive the blessings of membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from her father, after which she was confirmed by her uncle Markay Johnson. 

The 2nd grader at Vista School in Ivins enjoyed a program for her special day including a solo by little brother Zach of “I Am A Child of God” followed by his leading the audience in the 2nd and 3rd verses accompanied by Maureen Taylor on her ukelele.  Sally Fraser sang “When I Am Baptized.”

Through her baptism and confirmation, this beautiful 8-year-old - as do all members of the Church – has now received the Gift of the Holy Ghost and has also covenanted to abide by the laws and principles of the new and everlasting covenant.  She has “come into the fold of God” to become one of the newest members of the Church of Jesus Christ, and promises to “serve God and keep His commandments” throughout her lifetime.
