Traditions

This reminds me of Paul's mission, where he had to deal with the Jews, who followed him everywhere to demand that the Greeks converting to the church, needed to be circumcised.  But here, we have lifelong traditions from the times past.  I have always been conscientious about following the Prophets.  This area has had to deal with baptizing in the fonts at the meeting houses.  And the letter was read to all one day recently that all baptisms will be in the buildings, from April 1st on.  Yesterday was a Stake baptism day, and only 2 out of the 9 were baptized for various reasons.  We heard that one family had gone over to Kaneohe to a Bishop there to have their child baptized by him, in the ocean.  When our Stake President was contacted, the word NO was given to that bishop, and he complied.  Interesting.  

We have a g'child who will be baptized in May, and he is fine with it, no option.  But Noah had really wanted to be baptized in the Stake Center Font anyway, like his friend.  We have attended many baptisms where it has rained, and the waves huge, and stormy, and cold, and you could barely hear the talks on the Holy Ghost and on Baptism.  So this is nice.  I was baptized in the ocean, in Nanakuli,  this is fine to follow the prophets.
