Repeat after me

March 26, 2013

[name], Nkumbatiza mu linya lya kitaffe, N’omwana, N’omwoyo, omutukuvu.  Amiina.

[name], I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

Stephen assures me that I’ll have this conquered by the last (20th) child I baptize on Monday, though I’d rather have it down for the first one!  He’s allowing me to bless the water in English, for which I’m grateful.
