(verbatim from Grandma AJM--baptized in 1946 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA)
When I was baptized, none of our church buildings had a baptismal font. On a Saturday morning a few months after my eighth birthday, we went to temple square. In the basement of the tabernacle there was a baptismal font and children came from all over the valley to be baptized there. The first time my father baptized me, my foot flew up and my toe came out of the water. I was afraid of going under the water but the second time everything went all right and I was totally immersed and became a member of the Church.
I hope your baptism day is special for you.

Christ's Baptism
Our Purpose
As we began to help our oldest son prepare for baptism, we decided we wanted to share with him baptism stories from the scriptures and from our family history. As we began collecting them, we realized that these stories should be preserved and shared.
In order to protect the privacy of those involved, we sometimes use initials instead of names, and give only the year and rough location of the story.
If you have a story you would like to share with us, please email me at brightonwoman@yahoo.com
