It was terribly exciting. They printed the little pink name cards for me and I got to hold them in my hot little hand until I went to get in the water. My friend and home teacher Jeff Butler baptised me, which was really nice, and he asked me to tell him how to pronounce their names properly. I liked that. It drives me a little nuts listening to name after name being butchered. They returned the name cards to me afterwards and we'll be back there sometime soon to carry on with their work!

1) I was glad they let me off the Recommend desk in time to help out! Granted witnessing and confirming aren't as cool as baptising (and I kind of wish Ocimar had let me do a confirmation or two ;P), but it was nice to be there.
2) Rosenblad? Could that relation of yours possibly have had a taste for latkes and matzoh?
3) President and Sister Stone were so happy that you, Jill and the other folks were there: the late-night Friday sessions are sort of an experiment, and knowing that people were taking advantage of the opportunity made them very happy indeed.
