Jaselle is Baptized

Jaselle Adia Mills, became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Saturday, September 5, 2015 when she was baptized by her dad Randy Simkins and confirmed by her grandpa David Taylor.

On this special day, Jaselle – “an amazing person who is loved more than she knows,” says her mom Shar Simkins - was surrounded by her family and friends.  Oldest-sister Summer Simkins led the music.  Brother Jarett Thomas played the interlude music.  Grandma Sonya Taylor gave the opening prayer. Her mom, Shar Simkins gave the talk on baptism and her mom, Shanna Thomas gave a talk on the Holy Ghost.  Jaselle and her friends, Nellie Green and Meg Fraser sang “When I Am Baptized” and  Grandma Connie Simkins gave the closing prayer.

This beautiful 8-year-old daughter of God and of Randy and Sharlan Simkins has three brothers and two sisters.  Jaselle, a 2nd grade student, loves being part of Bloomington Elementary School's dual immersion program studying half the day in Chinese and the other half in English!

In taking this important step and completing these ordinances, Jaselle has entered the gate to the path of eternal life, has been given the gift of the Holy Ghost and is now also the newest member of the Bloomington 7th Ward.
