Sage's Baptism

Blessing Day - May 2003

Baptism Day - May 2011

How she has grown! We are so proud of our sweet Sage. She has been a sunshine in our lives for eight years already. (I can't believe it.) Her testimony of Christ is strong, and she is a light to those around her. Sage has a wise, caring, compassionate spirit.

Coby and Sage

Sage asked her dad to baptize her as well as confirm her a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and give her the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Grandpa Tippetts, Grandpa Allen, Uncle Eric Sork, Uncle Micah Johns, Larry Bird, our home teacher Matt Thornbrue, and Bishop Melanson particpated in the priesthood circle for the confirmation. Steve Ussery and Uncle Micah acted as witnesses to the baptism. Grandma Tash spoke about baptism and following Christ during the program. Grandma Tippetts made the beautiful white dress. Many dear friends and family joined Sage for this special event helping her to feel supported and loved. Those who couldn't join us in person sent words of love and encouragement through emails, letters, packages, and phone and video calls.
