We got home from Scout o Rama about 2pm so we could go to Jo's baptism at 4 pm
we got changed and ready to leave by 3:15. As we were getting into the car we noticed that Jo and the singles ward mission leader Dave were having an animated conversation. By the way, let me introduce the characters. Next door neighbor Stan,
current live in nephew jo, prior live in nephew Sylvester and Jo and Sylvesters Mom don't recall her name. Anyway seems that mom and Sylvester had left their home in Long Beach at 9 am by bus and had made it to the k-mart on Estrella by 1:30 pm bus travel is slow. They were supposed to get to the bus stop next to St. Margrets school by 3 pm and go to jo's baptism to be held at 4 pm. Jo an Dave went to the bus stop at 3:20 no one was there so they returned as we were pulling out. We made to the stop across from the Virgins and Marie said Ed lets go back and see if we can help. So we turned around and went back. Do you need help? we asked. yes! can you wait here for mom and Sylvester? Yes we can. They took off to the baptism and we waited by 3:40 I said we have to go . We went about to the end of the park and here came mom and Sylvester. I rolled down the window and asked if they would like a ride to a baptism. They hopped in and off we went. It would have been so sad if mom and Sylvestor had missed jo's baptism after being on a bus for over 6 hours. Your mom Marie's halo was really shinning that evening. It was the best day we had had for a long time becauses we were of service to others
