Baptism Day!

Sunday was a very special day for us! We walked from where the car could go no farther (washout on the dirt road) down onto the green flood plain of a tributary of the Krishna River. Water buffalo grazed nearby, we passed women doing their wash and birds were everywhere. We had the joy of watching while 67 people from our villages of Kothapeta, Damuluru and Chilukuru publicly gave their lives to Jesus and were baptized. Each one got a new Bible from us in their language of Telegu. (Those of our friends who donated $100 and $200--this is where your money went!) You can see the happiness on everyone's face!
