Sunday – Baptisms

We had a long but wonderful Sunday. It started with us picking up Mike and his family so he and two of his daughters could get baptized. After dropping them off at the chapel I took two of the elders out to do some round-up.

After the block there were four baptisms – three by the APs and one by elders Jones and Van Wagenen. They were all confirmed after the baptism and Mike was interviewed for the priesthood and then had it conferred so he can baptize his son next week. After that we took the whole family home before heading back to our apartment.

Mary’s piano playing talent was put to good use today. First she played for Relief Society, then she started playing for the baptism but was asked to leave and play for a Stake choir practice. Luckily sister Bean was available to take her place in the baptism. Elder Shipley needed to fill out the baptism and confirmation information for those who were baptism. He chose an unusual place and way to get some of it.

My final picture is of our grandson Elder Shane Webb who is serving in the Spain Malaga mission. He is shown here with his trainer – known as his father – and his trainer’s trainer which makes him Shane’s grandfather.



P-day Changed to Tuesday…so do not worry!

Since I know a number of parents check this blog regularly, I thought I would put in a note that p-day this week will be on Tuesday the 18th instead of Monday the 17th. This is because on holidays the libraries where most missionaries go to do their e-mails to the President and home are closed! Also it is a good day to catch families at home together.

So do not worry when your missionary does not send an e-mail on Monday. Enjoy Presidents’ Day! I am sure it will be there on Tuesday.

BTW the office will be open all day!
