6 Feb 2010 Kayla's Baptism

This is where we stayed. You can see how wet it was.




Friday, the 5TH of February we traveled to Oceanside for Kayla Marie Peters 8TH birthday, she was also getting baptized by her father that day. It had been stormy off and on all week but we weren't too worried. When we got passed Mesquite NV it started to sprinkle off and on again and when we reached the Cohan Pass it was horrible. Fog, heavy rain, wind and we remembered that the drivers in CA just drive normal. They don't stop for anything. I was a nervous wreck by the time we reached Oceanside. Paul had checked in with us to see how we were doing and how far we had traveled. We were booked at the Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego Oceanside. What a wonderful place to stay inn. There was all kinds of faculties to use, bar-be- cue, spa and everything you wanted but everything was outside so we didn't get to enjoy any of them, maybe next time.:)
We went to a place called Rusty Pizza for lunch and then we went home to get ready for the baptism, it was still raining. The baptism was wonderful. The font was not very full and Kayla is so light her knee came up and Paul had to do it again. A wonderful missionary tool for the non-member to see. They knew it was a full immersion and had to be done as the Savior had instructed.
There was a young man, Curtis J. Horner baptized also. Each participant had members of their participate, prayers , talks, music and it was a very inspirational event. It was still raining but Sunday it was a beautiful day and Sacrament was a very good meeting. Kayla bore her testimony and told of her experience at school Friday. When the students have a birthday they get to tell the class what they are going to do and she told the class she was going to be baptized and there were many questions asked and she told theme of being baptized by immersion. What a great missionary she was that day and will continue all her life I'm sure. I've included a few of the pictures I took for your enjoyment. Grandma Pearl
