Steven's Baptism

Steven's baptism in to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was supposed to be this past Saturday, September 29th, with the rest of the 8-year-olds from the Stake getting baptized. However, given all that happened in Tokyo last week resulting in my delayed return home, we got permission from the Stake to do our own special baptismal service this evening.

The service was really nice, and especially for a Family Home Evening night, we had a very nice turnout. Christopher did the baptism, and Justin did the confirmation. It was VERY cool to have Steven's brothers perform these ordinances.

So... it was great to do the baptism when I could attend, and also before Grandma Cotter flies home tomorrow. She had come in especially for this, and it was great to have her in town this weekend. She also got to see Justin in the BSU Blue Thunder Marching Band on Thursday when BSU's football team played Southern Miss, so that was a nice added bonus.

You see here three pictures posted from the evening. One of our whole family, one of Christopher and Steven, and one of the family at Red Robin afterwards for dinner. I took quite a few pictures this evening, of friends and family attending the service.
