Baptism Sunday

Today was baptism Sunday. God really blessed and we were able to see two baptized and one accept Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour. Tatianna and Teresa, a mother and daughter, were baptized today and were so excited to come to that point in their lives. Teresa was saved many years ago, but until she was able to see her son's baptismal service she didn't understand what we were talking about when we tried to explain baptism. Last month she was able to see her son get baptized and Jason talked to her and she finally understood what we were talking about.
Karen accepted the Lord Jesus Christ this morning. She went to camp with the teens and had a lot of questions when she got back. She was able to see the baptism today and afterward told Jason she wanted to get baptized too. Then as I was occupied with keeping kids out of the lake, Jason asked one of the Honduran workers that came with us to talk with her about salvation. She was shown from the Bible how to be saved and realized that she had never done that before. She prayed and accepted God's gift of salvation. Praise the Lord that we were able to see this young lady come know Jesus Christ as her personal Saviour.
Please pray for Armando. He is very discouraged as his wife, Adelaida, is very backslidden. She won't come to church and hardly ever comes home. His children are suffering as well. This morning his oldest son, Carlos, ran away again (this happened a few months ago as well). Jason and a few men from the church are out looking for him now. He is 12 years old and very bitter with his mom right now. Please pray that Armando would be encouraged in the things of the Lord and would trust the Lord to heal his family.
