Beautiful day of blessings

Sunday was an awesome day. Our church baptised 8 young people. Glory to God! My sister Hannah was one of them. She also celebrated her birthday so that was a double blessing for her. We had a birthday/baptism celebration lunch for her at home after the service. Her mom and my other little sister were there to witness the special occasion. Here are a few of the pics. They are in random order so you may find after service pictures before the baptism pictures or church pictures before the baptism pictures. Enjoy.
