It's really Spring here. The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming and everyone can't wait untill school's out. This Easter we really got to see new lifes being born. Not only baby animals, but also new lifes in Jesus. We celebrated Easter with our neighbors and really enjoyed celebrating Jesus' life and showing it to them. I'm so thankful that He is living now in me and loves Me. He reassures me that everything is in His hands and that He has power over the thing people think is most powerful-death!
We were blessed this Easter to be able to have our Grandma with us. She came here for Laurel's baptism, Easter and just to be with us. We had a wonderful time cooking German food and desserts, reading stories, making memories and just being together.
The last weekend of March, first weekend of April we went on a church retreat on the Croation coast and Laural was baptised there in the Adriatic Sea. I was so glad that she decided to be baptised and that she wanted to 'give here whole life to Jesus' (what she said in her testimony). I pray that she will know God better and better as she follows Him and that Kiley will make the same decision to follow Jesus and me and Laurel have!Nine other people were baptised besides Laurel! It was really and amazing day. Peoples testimonies were great and there was no doubt that Jesus' life had changed them. I know that God will work in these people's lifes and use them in amazing ways! It was really a time of celebrating life!
This is one of Katka Bordner's schoolmates that came to the Church Retreat to play bass guitar. But he went home a totally different person- he accepted Jesus as his Savior and is living a new life! We saw that not only one step on this long road of following Jesus was made (batism), but 2 people also decided to start the Journey!
