Second day in the temple (morning)
Wednesday, 20 August 2003 11:52This morning started off much like yesterday: with a baptismal session followed by IO.
Brother Blume asked me whether I would be willing to baptise, and I agreed. I wondered whether I would baptise Nadine and thought that would be nifty.
However, I spent most of the session in the small room next to the baptistry, participating in confirmations. When I popped back into the baptistry to pick up more names, I saw that Nadine's husband Benjamin was baptising her. That's probably nicer for both of them.
After the IO, I decided to shower in the temple because of the low water pressure in our room.
The water was better there but the towel they gave me was too small: it was the size of the towel I usually use for my hair alone. But I managed somehow.
