ABILENE TEEN’S UNUSAL BAPTISM

By LORETTA FULTON
In her recurring dream, Elizabeth Flores is holding her baby daughter, Harley, in a small room in Agreda, Spain, waiting for a priest to take her.
“I’m handing her over to be baptized,” Flores said.
In reality, Harley Flores is 15 and a student at Abilene High School. But in May, Elizabeth and Harley actually were in Agreda and Harley was baptized by a Catholic bishop in a basilica.
“It just seemed so familiar, the place,” Elizabeth said, comparing it to her dream. “It was very humbling, very spiritual.”
