Chapter five hundred and seventeen under the baptism of pandora
Li Han felt that this skinny pastor was quite interesting. Billy Graham didn't seem to say anything else and announced that the baptism had officially begun. The baptism procedures were more or less different. Ivanka and Judrey held Dudu's hand.
Dudu stood at the entrance, and Ivanka’s representative read out a request for the church to baptize Dudu.
The ceremony officially began. Billy Graham held a Bible and made the sign of the cross on Dudu's forehead. Judrey put a golden cross on Dudu's forehead. He finished reading the Bible and took an oath of faith. It was completed under the witness of many guests, and many guests entered the church. Ivanka and Judrey
I walked into the church with Dudu in hand. Because it was winter and Dudu was older than a baby, I chose sprinkling water instead of immersion for baptism.
As the guests entered the church, singing began, and as the baptism began, Ivanka and Judrey replaced Li Han and Jennifer as godparents, leading Dudu to Billy Graham. There was a co-pastor beside him, and the entire chapel was newly decorated.
, various icons, saints, etc., flowers, candles, in the middle is a place for holding holy water, Dudu stepped on the stairs and walked over.
Ivanka and Judry handed over the prepared candles. These candles were purchased by Ivanka and Judry. The candle giving ceremony began. They lit the fire in front of the altar. Ivanka and Judry lit the candles on their behalf and kept them in their hands.
, until the end of the ceremony, the candles were specially equipped and very beautiful. Billy Graham stood by and recited scriptures, assisting the pastor in guiding Ivanka and others. After all, Ivanka and Judrey were not very familiar with the baptism ceremony. These candles,
At the end of the ceremony, Li Han and Jennifer were to be preserved, which was of special significance.
Dudu blinked his eyes and walked up to the altar. Father Bill held a Bible and read from the Bible. The assisting priest guided Li Han, Jennifer, and Ivanka in the final steps of the baptism ceremony. Dudu took off his little hat and let his hair down.
Billy Graham was holding a Bible in one hand and reading, and holding a gold-patterned water container in the other hand. Dudu obediently tilted his little head as he was told, and warm water poured down his forehead. However, Billy Graham was an interesting old man, and he usually used cold water.
, because of the weather, I switched to warm water.
While reciting, holy water was sprinkled, and the whole church resounded with the holy sound. Under the witness of everyone, the baptism was completed step by step. During the baptism, the three holy names of God must be called continuously. The basis for this comes from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 1 of the Gospel of Matthew.
Chapter 28:19 records Jesus’ teaching to his disciples: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” This is emphasized again.
Baptism is a sacrament prescribed by Jesus himself, so the scriptures used in baptism are sacred and must not be changed at will. During the baptism process, Li Han and Jennifer had to call Dudu by the name of the saint, and Dudu added the Christian name.
Billy recited the Seven Graces of God, and then Ivanka gave a speech. Jennifer and Li Han expressed their gratitude to the guests. For nearly an hour, Billy was personally involved in the entire process, assisting the pastor in guiding Ivanka and Judrey Lee.
Han, Jennifer and others. The baptism is similar to the 100-day celebration for children in China, at least the gifts are similar. The gifts from the guests were various, and I didn’t think of too many expensive gifts.
It was relatively special and represented a blessing, but Li Han muttered a few words without saying anything real, and Jennifer glared angrily. "Let's send the guests back to the hotel first." The reception was held at Chris Manor, just like China's Hundred Days
Likewise, after the baptism is over, the host’s family will prepare a banquet to entertain the guests.
Jennifer's parents and Li Han's parents accompanied Billy Graham in a car to the Chris Manor. Friends like Li Han, Jennifer, and Willie were responsible for arranging cars to take the guests to the hotel. Fortunately, Jennifer prepared many cars, and Chris even more
Be well prepared.
After the guests were sent away, Li Han first thanked Ivanka and Judrey. After arrangements were made at the church, the group hurried to Chris Hotel. "What's wrong with Pandora?" Ivanka asked in a low voice, beeping.
His little mouth bulged, as if he was angry.
Li Han touched Dudu's little head. "It's okay. Tell dad what's wrong." "Dudu wants to pee." Dudu lowered his head and whispered. "Haha, no wonder, okay, dad will take you there."
"The advantage of an RV is the bathroom.
Dudu held it in for a long time, and the little guy was obedient and waited until the ceremony was over. "Haha, Pandora is so cute." Ivanka's face showed a hint of motherly brilliance, thinking she was planning to have a child. "Thank you, it's been a hard day today.
"
Jennifer and Ivanka are both young people who don't understand many things about baptismal ceremonies. It's quite hard for one hour. "It's a very good experience." Judry said with a smile. If they have children in the future, baptisms will be much easier.
After a while, the car arrived at the Chris Manor Hotel. The entire hall was very beautifully decorated. Dining tables and drinks had been placed early. Guests were either three or five people gathering around with wine glasses, chatting and laughing, or sitting on the sidelines.
Corner lounge area for chatting.
Li Han led Dudu into the hall. Chris had prepared the stage and there was a performance. Jennifer invited some people to perform. As for who it was, Li Han didn't know much about it, but the Hilton sisters were quite familiar with it. "Pandora is so beautiful.
"
Sisters Georgina, Ella and Olson were chatting and laughing not far from the entrance of the hall. When they saw Li Han and others walking in, they greeted them with a smile. "Thank you, Aunt Georgina." "This is a gift from auntie.
." A pony pendant was put on Dudu's wrist. "Thank you."
"Ashley, Mary, I'm sorry, I'm too busy today."
The Olson sisters came over, but Li Han didn't have time to say hello. "It's okay." When the Olson sisters came, they didn't expect there to be so many guests here, and there were so many guests that the Olson sisters didn't usually see. "See you later.
chat."
Before the reception officially started, Li Han wanted to go up and say a few words. Why don't you come to support us? The stage performance paused, and Li Han went on stage to say a few words to welcome everyone and thank you. Jennifer said more than Li Han.
Much more level.
At this point, Li Han admitted that when the reception started, Li Han, the host, had to greet the guests, especially those who came for his own sake. There were not as many guests as Annie, Kroenke, Josh and Jim Walton as Li Han.
There are many guests nearby.
Stan Kroenke did not expect that the arrival of several rich men in their 90s would give Kroenke a lot of face in front of a group of friends. Only relative money, more money and less, for people like them,
It's nothing.
Li Han held the wine glass, toasted one by one, and chatted for a few words. Today's drinks are partly provided by the Chris family, partly by Anna Lafite Manor, and partly by Kroenke. Of course, Li Han, the host, doesn't have enough. Warm beer,
Herbal beer and pandora fruit wine.
Pandora fruit wine is a wine brewed from space fruits. There is not much, only two barrels. It is named after Pandora. Unexpectedly, it was favored by the ladies present, especially after learning that fruit wine has beautifying effects. Even Jennifer, Lingna, and the other sisters replaced red wine with fruit wine.
, all ladies have fruit wine. Fortunately, two large barrels were delivered.
Most of Li Han's guests prefer traditional Chinese medicine beer, while middle-aged people tend to prefer warm beer. Red wine usually receives a cold reception. "Thank you for coming." Li Han first went to the rest area of David and others to express his gratitude one by one.
grateful.
Most of these guests were David's friends and customers of Li Han's traditional Chinese medicine beer. They chatted for a while, mostly about traditional Chinese medicine beer and traditional Chinese medicine. "I won't waste your time, let's have a chat with some old guys." Billy Graham and Da
When Wei and others spoke, they were not polite at all.
Li Han had a good impression of this old man. His words and deeds were not as rigid as the old man, and he was quite funny. "Then I won't bother you." Li Han left and went to Wang Donglin's place. Several people from the field of traditional Chinese medicine stayed with him and chatted with him for a while.
Wang Donglin said to Li Han, "Xiao Li, please don't be polite to me at all." He rushed Li Han to greet other guests. Li Han walked around in circles for an hour, not only talking about everything, but at least not being rude. "I'm sorry.
,Paris,Nikki,thank you.”
Li Han finally came to the Hilton sisters. "It's okay, Han, today's guests are really unexpected." "Some friends are coming to support me, Nikki, why don't you have a drink?" Li Han paused slightly when he saw Nikki drinking coffee.
After a moment, "I brewed pandora fruit wine for this baptism. It has a good effect on the skin." "Really?" Not to mention Nikki, Paris showed a hint of emotion. Although the red wine tasted good, it was not as good as the two of them.
I am more interested in the fruit wine that Li Han has said has a good effect on the skin.
Xie stood up and poured two glasses of fruit wine, very gentlemanly. "Thank you." "It tastes really good, Han, is this new wine?" Paris took a sip. When Orchid came out, Paris didn't get the chance. If
Fruit wine really has a good effect on the skin. Paris is sure that the effect of fruit wine is no worse than traditional Chinese medicine beer. Women are crazy. "It's just brewed for pandora's baptism. It's not considered new wine." Li Han didn't plan to brew more.
But they all use space spring water and space fruits.
"Oh, sorry, I'll go over there for a moment."
Lingna seemed to have something to ask her, so Li Han hurriedly walked over. "Lingna, what's wrong?" "Jennifer wants to introduce some friends to you." "Okay, let's go together." Li Han knew Jennifer's friends well.
Not much, just take this opportunity to get to know each other.
Jennifer didn't have many friends. There were four or five people, including Amanda. Li Han shook hands one by one and expressed his gratitude. Lingna chuckled, Li Han was too formal. Several of Jennifer's female friends chuckled, full of curiosity about Li Han.
, just Li Han inviting guests is already surprising, and Li Han's person is even more strange.
Although Li Han has been in the United States for many years, he has not stayed in many places. Most of his time was in the small town of Comixing. Montana is a relatively conservative and somewhat xenophobic place. "Han, you can relax, I think so."
It will be better.”
Amanda was resentful towards Li Han, so she pulled Pandora to sit beside her and said with a chuckle. Li Han smiled, winked at Pandora and smiled. "Pandora fruit wine, you can try it." Li Han came.
When the time comes, tell the waiter to bring some glasses of fruit wine. (To be continued...)
