More Memorable Baptisms

Saturday night was Merli´s and Edelmira´s baptism and what a special spiritual experience it was. Merli had a member baptize her and she did so well. When she came out of the water I was waiting up top with her towel and before he grabbed it she gave me a big THUMBS UP, its something I taught her. She was smiling ear to ear! Edelmira asked that I would baptize her and she also received another wittiness of the truthfulness of what she was doing. They are two of the sweetest people with two of the strongest testimonies I have heard. They both made huge sacrifices to make their baptism a reality, but in the end they could feel the Lord’s presence as they made their first covenant with Him.

The font water was another story though. Saturday afternoon it started to rain really hard which means that the tap water becomes very cloudy with sand and dirt. When we filled the font the water was a little bit more than dirty and sadly there wasn’t anyway to clear it up. It looked as if we had just filled it with river water but it didn’t scare Edelmira or Merli at all. It seriously looked as if we were baptizing in a septic tank but it was just another lifelong memory of the Lords work her in the Jungle.
