Who doesn't love an update
Wednesday, 12 November 2008 09:13

It's been awhile since I've updated, so I'd thought I'd give a shout out to the two people that read this blog. I'm in Utah for work, alone, because I couldn't convince SML to quit school and stay with me in Utah for a week. I feel strange in Utah because it's not my home anymore and Massachusetts doesn't really feel like home either. I'm in limbo, it seems.

On Monday a gentleman was viewing the Mormon Temple and asked me some questions about the Church property and the religion.  I'm completely biased on this subject so I tried to make everything sound as normal as possible.  When he asked, "What's that large gothic looking building?", I answered, "That's the temple!  They perform religious ceremonies there, like weddings."

And then without warning I also spurt out, "AND they baptize the dead in there!" I stopped there, again because I'm biased.  I controlled my sudden Turrets Syndrome for the remainder of the conversation, which I think that everyone who knows me would agree this is uncommon.  To make things more comfortable I transitioned our conversation to the health care crisis.

They call it 'Baptisms for the Dead', do they not? They read off dead people's names and then dunk a living person under the water. I didn't say they're baptizing corpses. Here's a better explanation just so we're all clear: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptism_for_the_dead

You know that Grandma broke her hip right? They were going to move her today to a transitional rehab place today. Please call her and let her know that you care. The phone number for the place is 689-1600. You will have to ask for her room number. I love you. Are you having a good time? Did you have fun at the Spaghetti Factory? Sounds really fun wish we were there too!

I think I explained it well enough. They baptize alive people for dead people. I'm not sure what you think the wrong idea is.

Yes, good times with the family. I do know about Grandma, I don't have a car to go see her though.

Did you tell him it was by proxy? I know you don't have a car that is why I gave you the phone number. Thanks for being such a good son and I can hardly wait until you and Scott come next month. Love you sweetheart.
