A Story 50-years in the Making

Something a bit different this week.....wanted to share an experience of mine that took 50 years to play out.  I was baptized when I was 7 years old, and had to have my baptism ratified by the First Presidency in 2011.  But it would have been cool to get re-baptized.....As bishop, could I then welcome myself into the Ward?  Would I have to interview myself for baptism?  What about the baptisms I performed, where they still good?  Lots of cool mind-game questions...but it all worked out in the end.
