Baptism in Africa

Hello everyone,

Here are a few pictures of a recent baptism that was conducted in the lagoon surrounding the city where we live.  These four men have made recent professions of faith and are attending a small group study every Tuesday.   The missionaries who have been discipling this group will soon be moving to another West African country so pray for us as we begin teaching the scriptures and working with these men.  We appreciate your prayers and wanted to share with you the fruits of the Lord's blessing.   Have a good day.

Blessings,

Jon

Happy Mother's Day!!

                                                       Jon with the small croc
                                                        He had lost his mind here!
                                                       Autumn holding the small croc
                                                       standing on the back of a big turtle
                                             Jon wasn't brave enough to hold the bigger croc!

I hope all you mothers had a wonderful, relaxing day!  Jon and Autumn were very good to me. They cooked me breakfast this morning and then are taking me to my favorite restaurant tonight. I have been blessed with a wonderful daughter and husband!

I also thank God for my mom and mother-in-law, Carol.  They mean so much to us and we really miss being with them today.  Have a wonderful day, we love you!

I have attached the pictures that Jon promised on the last post.  I don't understand him!  Who in their right mind would hold a crocodile, and on top of that a boa?!  Well, apparently his daughter takes after him....but she wouldn't hold a snake.  Yep, I wouldn't touch a thing!

Blessings,
Teresa
