Emily Baptised
My brother Thomas’s fiancée, Miss (also Ensign) Emily
Burgess, was baptised today. A most enjoyable service; one almost
wishes that we were all baptised as adults. It’s so very cool:

course, Baptism is an excellent thing which should not be with-held from
infants. But still…
Anyway, we’d all a good time. My good friend Dean’s wife Chrisanne Gartelos was her godmother, and so her folks & his mom were there, as was Fr. Gabriel from Cheyenne, Wy., and of course all four of us boys were there, and Mom. Dad, naturally, served (benefits of being a PK: we get first-class service, and first-class services). Emily is a great girl, and it’s wonderful that she’s now a baptised Christian.
