It is nice of you to spend time with your family. No matter who we are in this world, sometimes we got to do things with family we don't want to do if we want to keep the peace.

I attended this weekend as well.
A woman who was clearly disinterested in the baptism was talking to me so it was hard to count and listen to her. It was between 11-13 baptized - about 3600 in attendance. Four appeared to be under 18.
