Sofia got baptised. It was such a beautiful display of her growing faith. Since last year she witnessed so many who did at the fairgrounds during Easter. She has asked questions and to be honest, it then required me to search the bible and answer her. She took an intense children's class on baptism and through some cute activities she learned a few facts. The purpose of baptism is simply a way of signifying to others of your decision to accept Christ. Baptism is symbolic of your relationship with Jesus in the same way that a wedding ring is symbolic of your marriage. 
Hangin' with Grandad while nervous but so pumped.
I baptise her which was a very special memory.
It was also exciting because Jessica and her mom were also baptised.
Is baptism required? We learned that its important to Jesus and in the bible 104 times but isn't required for salvation. Matt. 28:18 - 20 he tells his disciples, "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." It wasn't enough for Jesus to have the disciples go and preach and lead people to Christ but he clearly thought they should all be baptized as a declaration of their salvation.
