A few weeks ago, after hearing that the church had a baptism service coming up, Nate approached Jon and me and said he wanted to be baptized. We've been talking over the past couple of weeks about what that means--that it isn't what saves us, that it is a public profession that we believe in Jesus, in obedience to what Jesus says in the Bible--and today Nate was baptized. He was nervous about the actual going-under-the-water part of it, but he did great!
Here's the video:
After the service, we gave him his first "
grown-up Bible" as a gift. He loves it and said it is "just like Randy's"--one of the older boys at church.
Oh, and when we told Lucy that Nate was going to be baptized today, she asked, "But what about me? When am I going to get bath-tized?"
