Today we attended a baptismal service at the Gecamines building.
This was a most memorable day.
.
This is what makes it all worth being here! There were 22 people baptized in this baptismal service. If you look closely you will see that it was quite a challenge to find enough baptismal clothes for all of them. For a minute we thought that some of the elders had just taken off their shirts and given them to the children.
Brent was honored to acted as one of the witnesses.
The missionaries worked hard getting everything ready for this big group.
This Mama was so proud of her son's baptism that we just had to take their picture.
We have many baptisms every Sunday, unless there is now water. It is quite remarkable. Our area total this Sunday was 52. Now the challenge is to find them a friend, a calling and nourish them with the good word of God. What an amazing mission are are serving in! This is what makes it all worth being here!
No need to say more!
