Carribean Baptism

My heart has been forever touched by the events of today.  Carly decided she wanted to be baptized here in the Dominican.  She had been thinking about it at home, but decided she wanted to be baptized in this special place surrounded by new friends and loving team members!  At the same time Kylie decided she wanted to recommit her live to Jesus and she was also baptized.  What can I say?  It was emotional and joyous!  We had arranged to pick up Pastor Salvador and we loaded up the truck Dominican style and off we went to the beach.  It was a beautiful sunny day and after the baptism we swam in the Carribean.  A couple of us got stung by sea urchins, but we survived to tell the tale.  We went home relaxed and ready for another day of VBS.
