...come unto me and live....


We have had a wonderful day with the Spirit. Seven souls were baptized in Asuom, 6 in Abomosu, 4 in Kwabeng and 5 in Sankubenase. It is almost a weekly occurrence. We attended the Asuom Branch meetings and then presided over the baptism there. Two weeks ago, I had blogged about Hanna. She is a small girl who will probably not be on this side of the veil before we return to the States. She was baptized today along with her mother by the West Africa Area Doctor- Doc. Fife. He was the one who examined her some four weeks ago and gave her and her mother the news of her condition. (You might want to refer to the blog to review the details) It was a most spiritual experience as she climbed into the font with her frail little body and heard the words that have opened heaven’s glory to her. 124 members attended the baptism and there was not a dry eye as she came up from the cleansing water of baptism. We all hugged her in her wet clothes and felt as if we were surrounded by angels who attended the event. Her faith and endurance is an example to us all.  I pray to be that humble when similar challenges come my way. These and other precious experiences fill our hearts where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt. Here is where our treasures and hearts are for now. The above pictures will warm your hearts.
