September 5 at 11am is it. Father, at first, wasn't sure he could do it that day because he has another one at 12:30 but said we could go before that if we wanted. He took down all the information he needed (birthday, time and location for Eric and I as well as both our parents names) and he said all we needed to do was show up. I can do that. Kum Peter has to bring stuff for us. He also asked Father how it was performed (some churches do full submersion others a sprinkling and we didn't know what the routine was). Father said, "We'll have a portable pool brought in, about 5 feet deep." We all just looked at him and then he laughed and said, "There's a pool over there" as he gestured to one side of the church. From what I could see even Eric won't fit in it so I'm thinking it'll be more of a pouring of water rather than a dunking. :) So, we're all set.
We had to stay after to talk to Father of course and it was just the 5 of us in there and Eric said, "Father, I have something to say." Father said, "Oh yea, what's that?" "Why do you have to sing so long in church?" Father chuckled and said "You think it is too long?" "Yes" "Me too but I can't make it any shorter, I try but there is only so much I can do." "Okay." He is a good man, Father I mean....very patient.
Also, I already invited Kum Peter's parents and I told Milan to invite his sister and her family to the baptism. Still debating who else I want to ask.
