Big Big Big Event

Okay, I went camping this weekend and there was lots of stuff that happened, but none of that even remotely compares to what I'm about to say. Sunday morning there was a church service held on the beach by one of the 321 people who were apart of this camping trip. There was about 50 people there and the pastor, Dick, was going to be baptizing his neice Chelsee. He asked if anyone else would like to be baptized. I'd been thinking about it for months now, but I knew my mom wouldn't let me. My friend told me that she didn't have to know. So following what just felt right, I rushed up to Dick and asked him if he would baptize me as well. Before he did, Rick, who walked out with us into the ocean asked me to tell my story about how I became a Christian... which all started when my dad committed suicide. I told my story, got baptized, and ended up spending hours talking with Dick's wife Jonie. I ended up creating a friendship that I know is going to last. Jonie is sending me the video of my baptism... I can't wait to see it.
