Our Baptism

FRIDAY: Its time to go to the temple. We get dressed and tie our turbans. We arrive at the temple and pray. We come out and have something to eat and something to drink. We meet our friends that are getting baptized  They were so excited like us. when the program was ended we went to our homes. We get our 5 Ks (symbols) ready and our clothes ready.

SATURDAY: We get up and do prayer at 5 am. Its 11 o’clock and we have a shower. We go to the `temple and we all pray for a hour. Its 1 o’clock now and we all gather up. We walk to the room to get baptized in. The 5 Singhs did the 5 prayers. After those 5 prayer the 5 Singhs told us what to do everyday. When we had been baptized we walked out to the Temple. People were so happy and proud of us. At the temple we listened to some of the readings from a special priest that came the U.K. After that we. After that every kid who got baptized got a trophy and the adults got special  blessing by the special priest that came. After the readings we had our photos taken and we had our dinner. For dinner we had Curry, desert and naan bread.
Everyone  was saying congrats to us and our parents.

    yeah it was fun getting baptised even thought it took from 1 pm to 8pm
    and the the 5 ks where a kangha ( wooden comb )which you keep in the sikhs hair, kesh ( hair ) when we get baptised we are never allowed to cut our hair, kara ( iron bracelet ), a kacchera ( piece of undergarment ), and a kirpan ( a dagger ) and once they get Amritshak they are Amritdari then you are never allowed to eat meat, fish, egg and and other things. Amrit, Sukhmaan, Prabhjot, Ikamjot and Tarshdeep where some of the people who got amritshak
