Baptism For Brooklyn

We were very lucky to be able to attend the baptism of Brooklyn yesterday into our Young Adult branch.  She is a loving and warm person and will be a great asset to the branch and to the Church.  Gary got to speak at the service on the Holy Ghost and did a wonderful job.  I didn't take any pictures but she and the missionaries took some important ones with each other and with Brooklyn's family.

It was the only baptism that I can remember that the water was TOO hot.  Brooklyn had said the day before at game night that she just didn't want the water to be too cold!  The sister missionaries promised it would't be too cold, but apparently they went overboard the other direction.  Gary Morris who was baptizing her stepped down the steps but as soon as he stepped into the bottom of the font, he stepped back up the steps and said it was too hot.  They added cold water and after a few minutes, proceed with the baptism.  Little moments that won't be forgotten on this important day for Brooklyn.

Looking forward to her being set apart today at Church.

Sidenotes:  Gary says he is now ahead of me giving talks-- 5-4 so I get the next one......good thing he is not in charge of that.
