Triple Dunker

Today was a red letter day here in the sunny southwest. Today Corbin became Brother Martinez. That's right, it was baptism time. To make it even better the other Brother Martinez gave the Holy Ghost talk right after the baptism and before the Stake President spoke. He did a stand up job; better than I can report for his Grandfather. We had a "triple dunker" and not because of unforeseen floaters, but because Grandpa kept messing up the words: forgot "Amen" the first time; used commissioned "by" in lieu of the correct commissioned "of" on the second attempt, and got it right finally on the third. But Corbin hung in there like a real trooper. The irony of it all is that just before we left Corbin asked if anyone in the family that had to be dunked more than once. We now know the answer is yes, and he holds the record. Grandma tells me the confirmation blessing was beautiful, I couldn't say, I don't really remember what he was blessed with. But then, that's the way its supposed be isn't it. Here's a few pictures of this memorable day.

BTW, Corbin has to talk in Primary tomorrow. Naturally he will recylce portions of his brothers talk and tell the other kids how he felt about today. He's got some tall shoes to fill after the fine job that Sky Buddie did today. We'll find out if he to is a gifted speaker like his brother and his cousin Caitie.

Like the fat man said, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
