Baptism and Communion! :)

Today has been an excellent and very encouraging day. We shared communion as a church family for the first time since moving here to Barunga (over a year ago). Then, we studied more about baptism during the service. After the service, during "hotwethataim"(the hot part of the day), we went down to the river, and 2 ladies were baptized! PRAISE THE LORD! Today has been a big blessing and encouragement to us all. Here are some pictures and a video, so you can join in and praise the Lord with us! :)

Mari(R) has had the desire to be baptized for a long time, and today was the day! :)

After the baptisms there was singing, and "brabli gudbinji"! (Very good stomachs, great joy).

The kids also seemed to enjoy it, they had a bogi(swim) after the baptisms.

After the baptism service, we came back to our house and had a BBQ and good fellowship!

Three of the ladies: Jocelyn(L front), Queenie (R Front) and Mari (middle back)

Here is Chiyo's baptism. She is the wife of Silas, Queenie's oldest son. She is also a new believer. Praise the Lord!!
