Baptism pictures

A few weeks ago we had a baptism. It was on a holiday and much to our surprise, when we got to the river, it was full of people swimming etc. There was discussion as to what we should do. It was finally decided that it would be a testimony to all those observing and we would go ahead with the baptism. We sort of made our way into the river and others moved out of the way, watching as they swam by. It was a wonderful time and perhaps more of the way it happened in Bible times. Six people were baptized and God met with us.
Cindy testified that although she got saved a long time ago, her decision to get baptized is more of a definite decision to follow God.
We were thrilled to see Blenski, Euddy's brother, get baptized.
Also Lissette, Blenski's wife, got baptized.
Edy, Algenis' mother, also got baptized. She got saved a year or so ago. Algenis is a young man who got saved several years ago and has a real gift with young people. He moved to Boston shortly before we arrived here and is currently living there.

Thank God for the lives that have been changed; I'm sure that is an encouragement, and makes missionary work worth every minute of it. I remember a similar situation when we had a baptism at a rather public creek in Costa Rica.
