(verbatim from Grandma CMB--baptized in 1967, Nevada, USA)
I don't remember much, so I had to check out the facts with my parents :o)
I was baptized in Carson City, Nevada, after we had lived there almost a year. We had spent most of that time building a new ward building, and I was one of the first people baptized in the new font.
I was the first person my daddy ever baptized, because he had only joined the church a few years before.
I was baptized in the same dress that I had worn when our family was sealed in the temple. (I don't think we had the white jumpsuits that most people use now.)
I had to get dunked twice, because my hair floated up. It's hard to believe, because my hair was very short. But it was long enough to not get totally immersed!

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
