A wonderful moment
Jhoselyn, Obed, Audrey, and Emily made the choice to step out in their faith, and let everyone know that they serve the one true God on Saturday March 10th. The Ranch held a baptism service for them in Tegucigalpa, in a pool. Before they were baptized we had a time of prayer and worship. It is so exciting to see the kids make a decisions to serve God. Obed recently committed his life to the Lord. I can already see a change in his life. He is a neat person and I'm sure God is going to do great things with him. Jhoselyn accepted Christ a while back and was desiring to make a public statement of her faith. I have a close relationship with Jhoselyn and was thrilled to be there to see her baptized. She is a beautiful young lady and I see a lot of maturity in her. Audrey and Emily are missionary kids, it was really cool to see them step out in their faith in a different culture. It was also neat because their dad got to baptize them. In moments like that it makes you remember what life is all about. It so easy to loose sight of the important things. Or to feel like your not making a difference. You never really know what kind of seed you are planting in the lives of those around you. It also makes you realize that the battle is not won, but only just begun. I pray that Obed, Jhosely, Audrey, and Emily will grow strong in their faith and have the courage it takes to always stand up for Christ. I know they will and I'm so proud of them.

Oh, Jessi, I am so happy that you are able to be a part of such wonderful experiences. You are not only growing in your own faith, but you are helping others in theirs. I know you will be shocked to know that this blog made me cry. I am so happy for the kids, tell them we pray for them and are happy they are now our brothers and sisters in Christ. I love you and miss you
