Of Baptism and B Movies

Justin and I were both baptized for the first time on Sunday. It was just amazing and I recommend it highly. Mom was feeling well enough to go and to stay for the party that followed. People seemed quite puzzled because she looked amazing. She even had enough energy to make a pot of spaghetti sauce- amazing.
You may be asking yourself where in the world one would get baptized in February in the Pacific Northwest without freezing to death. That is a good question. We are lucky enough to have members in our church who have a heated swimming pool with a gigantic bubble over the top to keep us warm. We all crowded around the edge of the pool and four of us, including Justin and I, were baptized. It was very misty and surreal. My mom and dad watched my little ones for us. After the pastor was finished with us, he did an open call for anyone who was moved by the spirit. I fully expected my dad to do a cannonball, but alas, twas not to be. I know, I am as shocked as you are. It was probably just because his hands were full with the baby. I wonder what he would have done if mom just shoved him into the pool? We could have pulled off a Nacho Libre baptism.
Once again, it is snowing (yea!!) and Miss Jane is off for more microwaving. We are expecting great company this weekend and her spirits are high. Thank you for all of the cards you have sent, they are up on the wall over her computer. They give her strength and make her smile.
Thank you to the Church of God in Ayres and the Fillmore Ward of the Church of Latter Day Saints, we appreciate you spending some of the time you have with the Big Guy talking about us.
