Baptism Sunday

Happy Sunday all!

Thank you for your prayers this weekend...God answered them in a strong way! We had a great morning as we celebrated communion and baptisms today. With a pool set up in the back service driveway of the theater, we baptized 71 PEOPLE throughout the three services.

We had planned for 50 spontaneous, so had to make a quick run to the store to prep extra packages before the last service when we saw we were going to be short. Even the rain during the last service paused exactly long enough for us to baptize and then restarted. It was an unforgettable day and a life-changing experience for so many. Special thanks to Kaycee (event coordinator) and Marco for the awesome sermon.

Exciting things at the Cancun campus, as God continues to amaze me. :)

El Policia

Today was my first time to be pulled over by the police! I was in the car alone...which NEVER happens. I turned left at a place where the sign says not to but I couldn't see it because of the huge bus in front of me. I was also on the phone with Nathan which is not allowed here. My license is also expired which matters here too. After the guy took ten minutes to explain to me what I did wrong (I finally understood with LOTS of patience on his part), he told me I had to go to the police station to pay one hundred and fifty dollars. They take your license here until you pay your ticket.
I said that I could go in the morning and pay my ticket. He said if I paid him right here (bribe him) he would not write me a ticket and it would not go on my Cancun record. We went back and forth for a long time. After about twenty minutes it finally ended. He gave me my license back with out a ticket and invited me to go dancing with him sometime (with Nathan if he wanted to come too). HAHAHA It was so funny but I got away without bribing or a ticket and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. :)

Baptism

This week we are working on spontaneous baptisms for CDF Cancun. I am in charge of making sure everything goes well and is planned out perfectly. I am really excited about it. There are several ladies helping me put everything together. We are providing clothes, undergarments, towels, anything you could possibly need to get baptized so people have no excuses not to go ahead and do it that day. I am getting baptized in the English service. I was baptized when I was little but I don't remember anything about it. Now it has a whole new meaning to me. Nathan is going to baptize me...I am just a little nervouse that he might try to dunk me before my nose is plugged or something. ;) You know he would be serious at a time like this though. I wish all of you could be here to celebrate with me.

Our cable to hook the camera to our computers has been missing for a few weeks. I used it when Bethany and Charity were here so I know it is in our new house. As soon as we find it we will post some pics of the kids. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.
