Hey! Can there be "overs" in a Baptism???

There was a baptism at the Chapin Branch on March 15th. Krista Jacob's friend, Mitchell, was baptized. The Sister missionaries had taught him and were very excited for the event.   It should have been Sister Wellman's first convert baptism. I say "should have been," because just as the Sisters walked into the room, the doors of the font were closing! The baptism was over and done!  

We had had music, prayer and talk on baptism in the Relief Society Room across the hall, then everyone moved into the Cultural Hall to witness the baptism. President Bruno wanted a word with the Sisters before the baptism, so they were the last ones in the door. Alas, they were too late! What a sad, sad look on the two Sisters' faces! It had all happened so quickly, and when those in attendance saw that the Sisters (and President Bruno) had not been there, there was kind of a stunned silence. To break the silence, a man in the back called out, "It was AWESOME!" President Bruno apologized profusely to the Sisters - and they were disappointed, but okay. After all, it was Mitch's baptism that was important. But I'll bet THAT doesn't happen again!

Here's Mitchell, right before his baptism!  He is so happy to have permission and support of his parents as he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!  He received the Aaronic Priesthood the week after his baptism.  He will be an amazing light to his friends and his family.
