Baptism

     My baptism was this morning, Sunday, Nov. 16. There were 4 other young men who were baptized. The others were Joshua Hege, Luke Yoder, Matthew Miller, and my bro. Benji. It was a very encouraging time. Oh my, the church house was packed full with people. The balcony was totally filled up. I am glad that James & Ginni could be here for this occasion, and also my parents came back from Texas a couple days ago. But they won’t be staying too long. They’re planning to go back down on Thanksgiving weekend. During the service, Ralph mentioned that we all had
Bible names. Sorry Ralph my name isn’t in there. Then He described each of us by name and applied some Biblical principles to them. When He came to my name, He said that He couldn’t find my name in the Bible, so He went to the first book and found my name in the word, Genesis. Gene iss dot, which is dutch meaning “Gene is there”. So I guess my name is in the Bible after all.:) And just pray for me that I may be able to keep those vows that I made before the congregation. And then we had some of our friends from Aroda, VA come to our place for lunch, which was pretty cool. Here are some pics.
