NELSON’S NOTES
by Nelson Galarraga

Once again we rejoice in the Lord for giving us the blessing to witness two more baptisms last Sunday. Mr. Morales was baptized after a long term of studying the Bible and being a regular visitor. He is Rocio Ponce’s father, which has made her so happy. Also, Jorge Cruz, a fourteen year old and part of our youth group, was baptized in Christ. Both his parents are devoted Christians. This makes six baptisms in less than four months. The Lord has blessed us! Keep praying for us.
