Kayley's Baptism

Dear Friends and Family,
Wow! What a great day we had today! Kayley was baptized today at a water park outside of the capital. Although Kayley accepted Christ at the age of 5, she has been fearful of the water and especially the "dunking" involved in baptism. But since we arrived in Guatemala, she has gained new confidence and asked to be baptized. The San Antonio Church of the Nazarene that we visited a few weeks ago held this special service. In general, the churches here do not have baptistries, so they plan special services two or three times each year. Sometimes they travel all the way to the beach, but this service was about 45 minutes from our home. We started with some praise and singing and then Scott Armstrong, a missionary, spoke for a few minutes about the significance of baptism. Then we moved the service pool side.

David assisted with a few baptisms of the people in the congregation and ended with Kayley. What a privilege for David to baptize Kayley. It was a wonderful time of celebration.

After the service, we spent the day at the water park. This park is unique in that it has a rapidly moving stream throughout the park, along with at least 15 pools and many water slides. Joshua and Elijah Armstrong had a great time going down slides together.

And since a few of you have mentioned the lack of adults in the posted pictures, here is Webb family photo taken last week in our yard just before leaving for church.

This week will be busy as it's Josh and Kayley's final week of school. Joshua will have many exams, but many parties as well. Both kids are excited for summer to start. Mom and Dad have two more weeks of school and are looking forward to the upcoming changes. We ask for your prayers that we will be useful in translating this summer. There is much in our brains, but we've found it difficult to make it come out our mouths! With God's help, nothing is impossible! I am sure there will be many frustrating times this summer, but even with that anticipation, we are ready for the challenge and the change. Thanks for praying for us!

God bless you this week. Until next week...The Webbs
