Ken's Baptism

Ken was baptisted today! We are so happy for him and Kamille, and the steps they have made to get to this point! Ryan was very honored to be the one performing the ordinance. Almost 3 years ago we were on the Oregon Coast with Ken & Kamille for their wedding, where a funny event happened that lead to Ryan being asked. So we thought it would be fun to go crabbing, since none of us had been before. So the process went like this: you bait the pot, throw the pots out into the water, wait a while for the bait to attact the crabs, then pull the pots back on deck, measure the or crab, and start the process over again. We were not having much luck, we were catching alot of small ones. There was a board near the edge of the dock for you to put your foot against when you are throwing the pots out. They had been going for a while and the dock was getting wet and slippery. Ken started with his foot near the board at the edge of the dock, he then started standing on the board to get a better throw, then he was standing on the other side on the edge of the dock. They were throwing out their pots, when Ryan heard a huge splash behind him. He turns around and sees Ken in the water, he had thrown a pot out and went with it. So Ryan reaches out and pulls Ken onto the dock, and joking he tells him "I did not know whether to pull you out or raise my arm to the square and baptise you." Everyone got a good laugh, and 3 years later, he was able to raise his arm to the square and baptise Ken, as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! The spirit was very strong!
