I'ze baptized yo!

So Sunday, May 7th, I was finally baptized. My family came. Jared and Zoey watched on. SO many friends were there, it was truly fantastic. Sydney Rosback and Hilary Davis, two of my incredible sisters in the LORD, were also baptized. Then we gave one another communion, with some leftover Jesus bread from Church which I stole, and some wine my mother purchased. Sketch you say? Meh. I love Jesus. While I talk about the rest of the goings on of Sunday, I'm going to list some other pics from the baptism. Take a gander up-close by clicking on them - they're all worth it.
So Sunday: First of all, my family came and went to Church with me. That was already a good day. Interspersed throughout the day was also some butt-kicking Mario Kart 64 with the fam, also a major plus. Then the Baptism. A good day right? Check this: at 5 o'clock we had the first Leader's Team of next year, slash the last one of this year. All the leaders from this year and all of next year's leaders came, and we had dinner and played a fun little game or two. First there was "Bethlehem Tag," a game which centered around water balloons, followed by "Caleb Toss" (based on the ancient Scottish traditional game of Caber Toss (sp?), only instead of throwing a log, we through Caleb). It was good times. We prayed for our respective future Bible Studies - Caleb came and prayed over Jewett Bible Study (a.k.a. Jewett Jesus Club). Rachel, Sydney, and Brian are such pimp people that I am incapable of expressing how excited I am about spending a year with them. It'll be rad. Then, after that (the day isn't over yet), tons of us WCFers went out to Pastor G's (pictured in each of these Baptism photos) house for a cereal potluck. He provided the milk, all the Journey college-age kiddos brought their favorite cereal. GENIUS! Anyway, it was fantastic and fun, and a super good day. Than I stupidly stayed up all night beating Jared at Star Trek Armada II. Couldn't have gotten much better!
Because blogger isn't working with me on the pictures, I'm going to submit another post with more pictures from Sunday. Check out (above) Ashley Fisher, and her poem, written in response to all the incredible promises and stuff God has been up to of late. I pray that Ashley would stay on the front line here, that God would empower and impassion more of us, and that He would really follow through on that revolution. Stand there until we get there God. Hallelujah!
