Baptisms

A Guest Post, by my daughter Anna

On Sunday night, April 11th, eleven people were baptized after our PM service. It was such a blessing to see these precious people follow the Lord in this step of obedience. I am attaching some photos so you can see. I hope it causes your heart to rejoice as it did ours. Have a wonderful day!

The first 6 people who were baptized are from a family whose two oldest sons (Armando and Marco) came to live in the boys' home here about 3 years ago. Armando and Marco were saved after they came to live here; they have now started a mission in their village about an hour away from San Cristóbal. It was a blessing to see their Daddy and Mama and 4 younger brothers be baptized!

Billie, I appreciate you and your family taking so much time to help those of us at home know what goes on in the lives of faithful missionaries.
