Christina's Baptism
Posted on Saturday, November 8, 2008 at 03:38 - Post Comment
Today was a big day! Christina took her stand for Christ and was baptized by her grandfather here in Africa in the cold river. Many people were there. All the fundis who have been working so hard for mom were there as well as the church people here and half of the Cashmere Church and Jason and Twalisa. We wish the rest of you at home could be here!
It was a nice baptism. A lot of us got wet trying to get close enough.
I have great pictures, but I have been frustrated in trying to upload them.
We had church in the church building because the sun was too hot. We squeezed a lot of chairs around the beds and stacked up the footlockers for a pulpit. Dad had the sermon and Jason translated. Most everyone is planning to for a walk, but I am taking a break from being with the whole gang. I sit on a bump on the ground out near the compost pit because that is where I can get cell reception to connect with the internet
