Baptism

We received permission from the Europe Area Presidency to fly March 9th from Frankfurt, Germany to Calgary, Canada for the baptism of our grandson on March 14, 2020.  We purchased a round trip ticket and planned to return to Frankfurt on March 17.  It has been an interesting week and our plans to return to Germany have changed.
See COVID-19 post.

This awesome young man was born in 2012 shortly before we began our first full-time missionary service to Adriatic North Mission in Croatia and Bosnia.  He has prayed for us and communicated via FaceTime with us through 3 over-seas missions.  He is a great boy.  On Saturday we as a family went to the church and participated in his baptismal service.  It was a very small group - primarily family.

His Mom said the opening prayer, Grandma Sue gave a talk on baptism, Papa Winters performed the baptism while his brothers acted as witnesses.  After he was dressed again his Grandma Pam gave a talk on the Holy Ghost and Grandpa Dan confirmed him a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and bestowed the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

It was a wonderful day.  We are thankful that we were able to be here.
