Today was Charity's baptism. Bart, Brandon & Sky all had to work, so I thought that I should go to represent our family. It was scheduled for 10:00am this morning (Saturday).
This is the very first baptism in our new Stake Center building, and the very first baptism in their new ward - Sunset Ward. I guess the building actually got double booked in the use of the cultural hall. I got there at 9:45am, and they were moving all of the luncheon stuff from the cultural hall into the Relief Society room. So, I grabbed Obraum, and I took him with me to the Primary room where the baptism program would be starting.
I felt really bad. Everyone was running around. It ended up starting at 10:20am. All of their family was included in the program. It was really nice. It was a simple ceremony with Melody & Faith playing the guitar and singing together. Parker gave a talk on the Holy Ghost, and did a great job, interacting with Charity to keep her attention. Charity was a little firecracker, as she always it. But, it was short and sweet.
Afterwards, they had the luncheon. I took my apron and dove right in helping in any way that I could. Melody decorated really cute. (I was only able to get a few pictures). A horse theme - of course! I was there until almost noon. I'm glad that I went, because some of her family got their feelings hurt, and wouldn't help out. Melody was upset, but we got her thru it, and it turned out nice.
