New Life!

Owen was immersed today. Charlie went behind the baptistery with Owen a half hour in advance, where they changed into robes, and got ready. There were several baptisms in a row. Owen was 2nd. Pastor Joel did the honors. Apparently, Pastor Joel was playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with Owen to help calm his jitters before hand. Then Owen noticed that the water was warm, and mentioned that he saw Mommy, Grandma, and Grandpas, Joey, and Miss Betty. He read his testimony, that he came up with himself, and I typed for him to read. And then he shared John 3:16. He was clear, eager, and a joy to watch. Of course, they needed a step stool for him, since he was so short.

Thanks, Julie. It was a wonderful day. We were really tired once everyone went home, though.
