Eliza Stilger's Baptism Day (Bishop & Anna Stilger's daughter)

Our camera battery died just as the Bishop and Eliza were posing in their white clothing. So we missed getting any shots of the main attraction. We'll ask the Stilger family if they can send us some of their photos to post soon. It was a special day for Eliza alone. They don't have the big stake baptisms here as we usually do in the U.S. When our granddaughters Aly and Lydia were baptized this year they each had their very own day, so it does happen - now and then! 

Elder Jolley got a few shots of the amazing food tables before the crowd hit...

Bread, Meat& Cheese Trays to feed the 5000...the whole ward = 100 people, on a good day.
See the grapes halfway down? E&S Jolley's 'healthy' contribution to the meal :-)

November 16th was Eliza Stilger's 8th birthday which happened to fall on Sunday. The baptismal service was held
immediately following church. The whole ward was invited and they fed us all with sandwiches and trimmings.
Bishop Stilger is a successful businessman who lives large. He and his wife Anna are very spiritual and loving people -
the backbone of Sheldon Ward. Sometimes the Bishop teaches Sunday School and then speaks in Sacrament Meeting!

Beautiful birthday cake and cupcakes with fondant frosting
A wonderful celebration for Eliza to remember...
