Here we are standing with Sister and Elder Bradshaw in front of the new Senior Couples apartment in Negombo.
Very nice garden area.
The apartment is on the top floor. It is very modern with a nice large kitchen that has a dish washer. The apartment has two bedrooms so we were able to stay the night.
Five people were baptised today from Chilaw. The baptismal font had a leak so no water. What do you do?
Load everyone in the van, get 2 three wheelers to go to the river.
The young children loved riding in the van!
This is the presiding Elder over the Chilaw Branch. Sister Bradshaw said he looked like an angel on a motorbike.
Heading down to the river.
Had to walk down the hill.
Along the bank.
Until we reached the perfect spot.
Reminds me of the Primary song, Baptism.
Jesus came to John the Baptist,
In Judea long ago,
And was baptised by immersion
In the River Jordan's flow.
"To fulfill the law," said Jesus,
When the Baptist questioned why,
"And to enter with my Father
In the kingdom up on high."
Now we know that we must also
Witness faith in Jesus' word,
Be baptized to show obedience,
As was Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Good thing it was a hot day. The children really enjoyed the water!
After the baptismal program we stayed at the Carolina Resort. We had more fish, swam in the pool and relaxed. We stayed in Chilaw so we could attend church in the morning.
