The most exciting praise report today is that we were privileged to witness Jana’s baptism.  When she gave her heart to Jesus, the angels rejoiced.  We can’t match what that was like, but we rejoice to see her public profession of faith as he follows the Lord’s example in baptism.

We’re thankful for everyone who helped make last week’s resurrection day celebration a success.  Our special thanks go out to Dianne Stevens, the neighbor of the Whitmores who once again provided such elaborate baskets for us and also the ham for the dinner.  We also all got gifts from Jana.
