Mallory accepted the Lord as her personal savior when she was 13, but she had never been baptized. On Sunday, June 24, she was baptized at the Discovery Christian Church in Broomfield, Colorado. It was a very welcoming church with an amazing pastor, a wonderfully inclusive ministry, and excellent music.
