Jesús está vivo en Puerto Rico! Jesus is alive in Puerto Rico! Today was a wonderful Lord's day as we celebrated the baptism of 5 people along the northern coast of Puerto Rico at Dorado Beach. The church we attend is a mixture of both Americans and Puerto Ricans; however, the majority are from the states as it caters to those who are living here temporarily on business, with the military, and the occasional family from small town Texas whose son came to play baseball:) For the baptismal celebration we traveled caravan style after the morning service to a beautiful private beach community where we gathered down at the water for the most wonderful believers experience, participant and observer alike. Baptism, although not a necessity to salvation, is indeed a testimony to others of our new life in Christ as we follow the example that was set by our Savior.
The pastor briefs everyone on what is going to take place before we "gather at the river" as the old hymn says
What a moment for a mother (or the father whose standing by)! Participating with your child in the most important decision of his life has to be the experience of a lifetime! These are our dear friends, the Conn's, who Naomi stays with once a week to help with home schooling, Amy and her son Jacob.
The kids run to play in the water! Wyatt and his friends
Sweet little onlookers.......

It was a really fun day for all of us. Below is our friend Abner. I say "our friend" because we all enjoy Abner's company. He has the best personality and is teaching us so much about the Puerto Rican culture, but for some reason he seems to like Naomi much more than he does us:/
