Monic's Baptism

Last Friday, Mom and I drove to Vancouver for Monic's Baptism. Friday night we had dinner with Aaron at Mars. Saturday morning I was able to go see Rudy, Glora and Loreen. We had nice hour or so to sit and chat. Then it was a busy afternoon running errands and getting food for the evening. At 7pm Monic was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Aaron baptized her. We had lots of family show up. Monic's parents and sister, my Dad, Grandma Lois, the Bret Claytons, Jen and Spencer, Aunt Cindy, Missy and Nathan, Uncle John and then friends from work and church. Afterwards we had a nice gathering at Aaron's house with food and cake and good friends. Sunday morning we went to 11:00 church where Dad confirmed Monic. Mom and I left after church to head home. It was a quick weekend but a very spiritual weekend.

What a special experience! I bet Monic really appreciated you being there to support her! Tell your mom that the table looks really pretty. She was telling me about it.
