Pre-dunk
I would give this a 8.5 (for the splash)
Victory for Duane, although the pastor can no longer feel anything from the waist down.
I would like you to observe that Duane wore his Tennessee shirt for his baptism (purposefully) and also my Merrill river shoes that Mo and Geri labeled "German Tourist Shoes". Quite the ensemble. I think he looks cute.
I had to dig out my fleece for today and I was still cold. Seriously, it's not even September!
Duane's parents were traveling through Canada and made their way down for the weekend. They added a bit of international flair to the event. :) Since I was baptized as a wee lass (in the Catholic church), today was a big learning experience. It was quite moving to be a part of it and to see all the people who came to support those who were getting "dunked". And someone even made a three layered cake! I was, of course, very happy about that!

Since I'm a fast reader and dont take my time sometimes...I thought it said pre-drunk......Anyhow, Congrats! My dad baptized Kev not long ago...it wasn't as cold though...So sorry you froze. Im glad there was cake for Angi:)
Love the post! Duane looks so happy! And the splash was definitely impressive. At least those sturdy tourist shoes were good for something and protected his feet in the chilly wet water! :) BTW that poor pastor had to be freezing if he stayed in there for each person!
Great job Duane! We are very happy for you!
