On a Sunday after church a few weeks ago, many of us drove to the river for the baptism of about 7 or 8 kids of missionaries there on Center. Their fathers were privileged to baptise thier own children - what an honor!
I used the zoom feature on the camera to get a picture of local folks across the river taking in what we were doing. We sang some songs and of course had some prayer. All of the people in this area have had quite a bit of exposure to the outside world and are familiar with these kinds of things. There is a huge Seventh Day Adventist presence here, as well as Catholic and some others.
One of the doctors on Center calls this the Typhoid River -- I've heard that our "pickle ponds" -- the settling ponds for our septic/sewer system, has tested better than the river. hmmmmm...maybe that's why Doc calls it that!
No we're on our way back home to Lapilo - just a very short jaunt down to and across the "highway".
