What a day!  Wow!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

Today the two Sendero de Vida<\/i> churches in Ixtapaluca got together and – had a baptismal service!<\/p>\n

I’ll try to get some video and pictures up later.  But let’s just say it was a truly unbelievable day.  26 people were baptized from the two churches!<\/span>  And – the stories behind each one of those lives – it’s SO incredible to see what God is doing here!  It takes your breath away!  (No, it wasn’t just the cold water in the pool – although that takes your breath away too!)<\/p>\n

And guess what?  Hannah was baptized!<\/b><\/i><\/span>  What a JOY to hear Hannah give her testimony and obey the Lord by being baptized!  And our friend Mart\u00c3\u00adn and I had the privilege of baptizing her!<\/p>\n

\"Hannah<\/center><\/p>\n

After we got home, a rain and hail storm hit.  So we spent some of the afternoon cleaning up a bit of flooding in our kitchen.  I think it’s starting to dry out!<\/p>\n

In spite of it all, what a great day!  Thanks be to God for His goodness and mercy!<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always chide,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.<\/i><\/p>\n
