On Sunday we went to church to get baptised. When we got there we started the service, then we went to the font at the back of the church and our parents and godparents joined us at the font. I was the first one to be baptised and then Robin. First Reverend Helen poured the water of baptism over our hair and then put the sign of the cross on our forehead using oil blessed by the Bishop of Auckland. Then we got our baptism candles and certificates.
After the service we took Uncle Steve on a tour around Auckland because he lives in Christchurch. When we got home Reverend Helen and her husband Stephen were already there, as well as our family and godparents. After a while Papa told me to tell everyone the food was finished and Mama asked me to ask Reverend Helen if she would bless the food.
My baptism was a special time, I had fun with my family and friends.
