CATCHING UP: Emma Tharp is baptized

Emma Tharp, third child / second daughter of Adam and Dominique Tharp, stepped into the waters of baptism on August 1, 2020 holding the hand of her daddy whose priesthood authority made her one of the newest members of the Church of Jesus Christ and confirmed upon her the Gift of the Holy Ghost. 

 This very special service was shared with one of her cousins from Salt Lake who was baptized immediately after Emma while parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and others witnessed the sacred ordinance performed in-person or on Zoom.  

 

The Bloomington Elementary School 3^rd grader said of her experience, “the water was colder than I thought it would be, but it felt so good to be baptized by my dad.”  

 

Emma’s mom calls her “a big helper who loves to read and go hiking with her family.”
