She Made The Right Choice!

---

In a recent post we introduced you to Prisca. We had asked the question: "What would you do if you were in her sandals?" Well, we are happy to say that yesterday morning, we took her to the water, and she stepped out of her sandals and entered the water!

Allow me to back up and give you the details. Yesterday morning, we arose earlier than usual, grabbed two towels, and drove to pick up Charles and his wife Editha, and Prisca. On the way I turned on the Land Cruiser heater to have it warming the vehicle inside. Together we drove to a pond of water not too far from our house. We chose this site instead of the river, since it was closer and we wanted to have time to let Prisca change into dry clothes before heading to the building for worship. I told her I would hold my "Hongera Sana" (much congratulations) until she had arisen from baptism in newness of life (Romans 6:3, 4). We parked right by the water and I left the Cruiser running with the heater on. We heard her good confession before we all got out of the truck. The morning was quite chilly and the water was too.

The morning light was golden upon this scene as we witnessed Charles immerse her into Christ! How thrilling to welcome her into the Family as she walked back to the vehicle, dripping and beaming for joy.

We ushered her to the front seat to be near the heater. As I drove back, I was emotionally moved as we sang songs in Swahili. "Siku kuu, siku kuu. . ." (Swahili version of happy day).

Once Charles and Prisca were in dry clothing, we all loaded up and headed for the church building. On the way we picked up Shadrack (another new convert), and Zawadi. The singing seemed especially vigorous. We were happy to have a new sister, and our son Jacob was leading the singing (Yes we are proud of him leading in Swahili). Certainly a happy Lord's day!
Thank you all for your prayers.
