Happy Anniversary, Aleigh!

I know I'm a little late but I wanted to wish Aleigh Joy a Happy Anniversary on the one year mark of her baptism into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints which took place on June 14th.  Because of her decision generations of my family will be affected.  It's hard to believe that a cute little 19 year old could be so important to my family's eternal link to each other.  Because she chose to embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ she will be sealed to my son and their children and their children and so on and so on.  She will raise my beloved grandchildren the way that I raised my beloved children and there is nothing in this world that brings me greater joy and happiness.  All of my sons have married girls that were raised in our faith so when Hunter fell in love with Aleigh my heart was very troubled because I knew that Hunter could never be happy raising his children outside of his faith but I also knew that he loved Aleigh very much.  Ours is not an easy religion to embrace.  We are not "one hour on Sunday" Christians.  Our religion is a way of life and not an easy one if you aren't used to it.  She embraced it more fully than most people who have been born into it do.  When she entered the waters of baptism my prayers were answered.  Happy Anniversary, Aleigh Joy.  You may never know how much your decision has affected my life and how much it means to me.  I love you:)
