So J- was baptized!!!!! Super super super awesome. Really
spiritual and it really brought that family closer together.
We had to fill the font about five times cause we filled it, then we started to play
around with the water. Feeling bad we decided to empty it and refill.
Because he's got crutches due to an accident that he had a while back, we
were trying to figure out how to baptize him. We found the keyboard stand
in the chapel and it was exactly what we needed so he could sit down and be
put under water. Then we left the font filling with the keyboarder stand
still in the water. When we came back, the water had turned orange due the
rust and we had to empty the font, clean it, and refill. So we left, came
back to open the church for an activity and we saw that it was almost full.
So we turned the water off and went home to get our baptismal clothes. When
we get to the church, we look at the font and the water had drained a very
significant amount. So in a panic with only 30 minutes left, we turned on
the water and started fill buckets and dump them in.
We finally got it filled, and somehow the entire branch showed up for the baptism. J- is a
pretty shy guy and didn't want to be the center of attention so he was kind
flaking out. We pulled him aside and started to tell him about the day of
filling and refilling the font and that seemed to calm him down. So he was
baptized, confirmed, and ordained a priest. Now he can baptize his daughter
in November.
SO RAD!!!
