Sarah Joy Russell - 13 July 1999

Sarah Joy Russell was eight years old on 13 July 2007. As a result her baptism was scheduled for 28 July 2007. That date is passed and now I am certain the baptism is past but accomplished. Sarah lives in Woodinville, Washington . I would liked to have been present for her baptism, but circumstances did not permit our being present. I am certain it was a very wonderful time. Perhaps the Spirit was evident like on the Day of Pentacost. Sarah was at our reunion in Hoop Lake on her birthday. I searched through the pictures I had taken. Somehow Sarah had escaped. Alas! She wasn't in any of my pictures, so the picture I have posted includes (right to left), Sarah's mother, Amy; her sister, Hannah; and her Aunt Diane. That's not even close, Sarah, but the best I could muster under the circumstances.
Sarah is very precocious and so creative. She makes and acts out roles so professionally. She is extremely intelligent, beautiful and poised. Any parent would be proud to claim her as a member of their family. Her three sisters and two brothers are also very exceptional - a truly grand and marvelous family. Amy and Tom have done things right. Sarah, I am glad to be your Grandpa.
