a baptism of life-change


last night, my church had a group baptism and barbecue at golden gardens park in ballard. there were hot grills, firepits and smores, and lots of people. over 50 people made the walk into the cold water and started their new life in christ. it was really cool.

I have to admit that margaret, danielle and I totally know how to pack an upscale picnic/barbecue basket. I'm not bragging or anything but we had salmon for dinner. SALMON! and a fresh greek salad with crusty bread. want to know what my contribution was? the bread. I need to remember to bring both of them along anytime I want to "camp" (really? when would I ever want to camp?) because they were both so prepared. margaret brought a spatula and foil for the salmon and danielle brought real dishes and silverware for our dining pleasure. I brought bread. and some caramel corn to share. and diet pepsi of course. but the bread was the real standout.

whatever. do not expect me to save you in any sort of survivor situation. (otherwise known as camping in my world)

us girls have challenged ourselves with being more involved at church and this was our first attempt at socializing. it was successful so I have hope that we'll continue!

Great picture of the three of you. Looked like you were all having a great time! I'm also impressed with the meal you three prepared and ate. Wish I had been there with you. I'm glad that you have decided to become more involved in church activities. Great way to meet nice, Christian "people"!

Love ya, MOM
