AUGUST 18th

So hard to believe it has been 13 years since I last entered the Waters of Baptism. For those of you who may not have known, I was raised catholic. When I was 14 I went to stay with my Hockey Coach and his family in Salem Oregon. My coach had a rule in his house it didn't matter what church I went to but while I lived with him & his family I needed to attend Church on Sundays. Since I didn't know anyone at the catholic church I decided I would just go to church with his family. His family were all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of latter Day Saints. I really enjoyed going to church with their family. later that summer I called my Mom to see if I could get Baptized. I had already taken the Missionary Lessons and was sure my parents would be OK with my new choice of religion. I was Wrong and sent on the next greyhound home!!!
It took 4 yrs and 5 full Missionary lessons later but once I turned 18 it was now my decision to make. Which I did August 18Th 1995.
My Parents have come to term with my choice. I know they have seen the Happiness it has brought in my life.
It is hard for me to believe it has been 13 yrs... WOW
My Daughter turns 8 next September and I really look forward to watching her prepare to be baptized...
