Saturday Baptism

May 19Another beautiful day after a night of lightning and fierce rains. This morning during prayer meeting we were introduced to the six CES teachers who will be our guides come Monday. Elder Barrett and I were again asked to repair more frost free hydrants. We devised a way to repair them without having to dig them up. I am sure that we had help from above in creating a new method of repair. The irrigation system is working great once again on all nine sections. It has been a long day but we were rewarded by witnessing a baptism at our special spot in the Sweetwater River. This is the first of thirteen scheduled baptisms for 2012 in this special place.
Four sister missionaries from Casper came to support their 31 year old baptizee. There will be a picture for this occasion when it is downloaded.
I am here in the Trek Center blogging while Bernice is practicing the organ. She had been scheduled to play the organ all through the month of May. We are preparing for our Branch Conference tomorrow. The Stockcamps will be here as will all the missionaries from the Sixth Crossing visitor center. Since we, MHHS, are providing the potluck tomorrow our choice has been scalloped potatoes for 15-20 people. This will rotate and next Sunday it will be our turn to bring a meat dish; after that back to dessert, salads, rice/potatoes, meat.

We are starting to have many visitors during the day. A man named "doc" came this morning to our prayer meeting. He pulled a stock handcart from Billings to Salt Lake City as a salute to the handcart pioneers. He built his own cart as per directions in pioneer journals. It looks identical to the 300 we have here.
