11 of those bapitzed today are from our church: Brian, Odalis, Sherlynn, Briana, Aracely, Merlin, Ana, Alfonso, Julio Cesar, Gamaliel and Cesar. What a great bunch! We don't have a baptismal at church, so found a lovely spot and a beautiful pool in which to baptize these folks. A couple from Toluca showed up just before the baptisms and begged us to baptize them as well. Juan and Dan talked with them and seemed to feel they were truly saved. They were thrilled to be a part of this ceremony and even stayed and had dinner with us afterward!
Three young ladies, Briana, Odalis and Sherlynn, all baptized the same day! Aren't they precious?
This is basically a holding tank, used for watering the crops in the area. It also happens to be a warm spring of water that is always running, so is beautifully clean. It looked like a pool that is cleaned everyday - minus the chlorine, thankfully!
We first had a worship service - this picture just to prove that I was REALLY there! Then a short message before the baptisms.
There were two pools, the very large one on the right and a smaller, warmer one on the left, almost like a wading pool. We all brought our food and set it all up on tables to share - my goodness, what a spread - and everything I ate was delicious! After - and during - the meal, a number of people, and especially the children, thoroughly enjoyed swimming. And only one young person got thrown in by her friends!
