Everett Baptized

No Everett, Jesus doesn't need your credit card.











Another of the Intel relocation families arranged for a Jordan River Baptism of their newborn and this is what we were going to do for Everett. They graciously offered to let us double up on the day. It was really pretty cool when you think of John the Baptist baptizing Jesus in the same river. Grandma and Grandpa are Everett's Godparents. It was a very nice casual ceremony by Deacon Steve who came to Israel from Abq just for this occasion.







We did a big dinner out at a winery after the ceremony. It was a good day below sea level in the Jordan Rift Valley. The Jordan river feeds the Sea of Galilee at 200m below sea level then flows to the Dead Sea at 400m below sea level.
