Since I'm playing catch-up, I thought I'd tell you a little about this girl's baptism.
Savannah Roscher is so cute, she's from Texas and her big sisters, Alyson and Meghan are now attending BYU. They (John and Brenda, and I'm sure Savannah) wanted Aly and Meg to be at her baptism, and they also wanted to share this special occasion with the rest of the family, Grandma and Grandpas and Aunts, Uncles, and cousins, so they tried to make arrangements for it to happen in Cedar City. John was the Bishop in his ward in Texas, but just so happens that he had a job change, and his new job is in Idaho, so he was released from his Bishop duties the week before. Well, Grandma and Grandpaw Bryant's Stake President, said "No" to her being baptized here. We were all very confused, but that's the way it was, so they were still trying to figure out arrangements...when Kathryn came to the rescue. She went to deliver a present we had for Grandma (very late, I might add, but I'll forgive her in a minute), when she found out the predicament, she went ahead and asked for permission in her stake (she was in the Stake Primary Presidency), and they told her yes, as long as her Bishop agreed. Bishop Grover agreed, and the Baptism was set!
It was so wonderful, I am really glad that we had the opportunity to be there, it's been hard to stay close as a family, when some people live so far away!! (This was Bishop Grover's last act as Bishop, he was released the next day, and we are so very greatful for him, and all of his service, he didn't have to do it, but we are thankful that he gave up his time to do so!)
