Andres and I decided to have Eva baptized in Minnesota because our family was having an early Thanksgiving before my grandma went down to Arizona for the winter.
My cousin Jami and his wife Nicki are Eva's godparents and they had good intentions of going to the Redeeming Grace Lutheran Church & School in Rogers, MN. So we decided this would be a good church to have Eva baptized in.
Meanwhile.... I emailed the pastor and told him our situation and that Jami and Nicki were intending on joining their church..... blah....blah....blah.... So we were all set for the baptism.
Well, people get busy and Jami and Nicki never got a chance to start going to the church UNTIL..... the day of Eva's baptism!!!!!
We walked in, met the pastor and (half the church... I think maybe they had 25 members) Eva was awake and "talking" for of the service, and just like that Eva was baptized!
In the church bulletin it stated that Jami and Nicki were associates of the church....hehheheh that's nicer than saying total strangers.
Aunt Jean summed the experience up the best by stating "It was a drive through baptism, just throw some holy water on the car..... and we'll take some monster cookies to go please."
All in All it was a beautiful baptism! The people at Redeeming Grace were very gracious and accommodating!
Amen:)
