Elizabeth's Baptism

The original plan for Sunday afternoon was an outdoor church picnic followed by baptisms in the creek that runs through my college campus. However, the weather had other ideas...so the "picnic" was held in my college cafeteria (whoa! what a rush of memories there!); and the baptisms were held in the college swimming pool. The water in the pool was warmer than the water in the creek, I'm sure; and the air in the pool room was definitely warmer than the outside air, as everyone sitting in there soon become hot and sticky. But it wasn't a great place for taking pictures--or for hearing the words that were spoken during the baptisms. In any case, God heard; and that's the most important thing! :) We are so proud of Elizabeth for her decision to follow Jesus!!!

~ Jeff and Josiah had fun dipping their feet in the water during the baptisms
~ David didn't want to be left out so he got a prime seat on Daddy's lap and could get his feet wet, too--that boy! he has no fear! if Jeff or I had not been holding on to him the entire time we were in that room, I'm sure he would have gone headlong into the pool! :)
