A First on the Second

Today, thanks to Jack and Stephanie's urging, we made it to the temple to do baptisms for the names that Jenny and I have got ready so far. I have to say that I was thrilled to get these cards printed with my name as the contributor on them. Is that prideful?
These were meant to be Ed's mother and father, but I messed up and did his mother and brother, his dad is Lewis Harvey Jones and his brother is Harvey Lewis Jones, but you get the idea. Josh and Meg, Jack and Steph, Jonathan, Richard and I all got to be there. I'll be sending you endowments to do; Jason and Nicole, Jenny and James, and Jessica and Dan. The plan is to get them all ready for the sealings by our family reunion this summer. It was really a neat experience to witness the baptisms and confirmations of people that I actually found! I especially felt something for Josephine Martinez, Ed's grandmother. I have spent so much time trying to find her family and haven't got them yet, but now I feel close to her. Jack was able to baptize Jonathan, Stephanie and Josh. Josh baptized Jack, Meg and Richard. Richard baptized me. I can't wait to do the initiatory work!

  2. I think it's the best kind of pride. You are going to be receiving several hugs from each of those folks on the other side. Thanks for setting the example.
