(verbatim from Grandpa THM, baptized in 1965(?) Maryland, USA)
I was baptized at age 31. At the time Grandma AJM and I had been married for seven years and had three little girls---the oldest being your Grandma CMB. At the time we lived in Annapolis, Maryland. Our home teacher baptized me at a ward building in Baltimore Maryland (about 30 miles north of Annapolis). When we were driving to the baptism other members were passing us on the highway. Grandma said that maybe I should go a little faster so that we would be there on time. I told her that we needn't hurry because I was sure that they would wait if were late since I was the one being baptized. I had been going to church regularly with Grandma and our girls and so lots of people were surprised because they thought I had always been a member.
Grandson, you are making the right choice. The Lord will welcome you as a new member of the Church and so will your family.
Love,
Grandpa

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
