baptism

Oh, today was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the sky was blue...and the air was frigid. Perfect day for an outdoor baptism, wouldn't you say? On they way to the nieuwe meer we saw ducks walking on the ice and stopped to take pictures. There was snow on the rocks decending into the water. But did that diminish Maria's excitement or joy at being baptised? Nope. Despite the cold weather and water Maria, Eric, and Vera entered the water while the rest of us huddled together on shore. It was such a great witness to everyone there...they were really touched when we prayed for her. Then we went to her friend's bar and had cake and coffee and tea, and there was Christian music playing which was really weird to hear in that atmosphere. But very cool, and we discussed turning it into a church for a few hours on Sundays. Good idea, I think.
Oh, also I wore Marco's aviators today. Anne was like, "You look..." and I finished with "Stupid?" and she said, "No! Like a movie star!" haha, so that was nice.
So Mel, this is for you. Stop your complaining. haha. sorry it sounds like a poorly written news article.
