Shortly before I was to return home, Lallian asked to be baptized before I left. While Leon was discussing preparations (how to get in the pond) with Seng Aung, he also said he wanted to be baptized. I talked Ben into letting us use the larger of the 2 ponds stocked with tilapia, and it worked well, especially with the long bamboo pole I could use as a handrail.
Lallian is almost under, as Seng Aung makes sure.
Wet and forgiven!
Seng Aung gets his turn. Leon wanted to be there in the water with us, but we talked him out of it- the bottom and sides are very slippery and Leon is still a bit wobbly after the strokes. He laid hands on them along with me when we all got out of the water.
U Tai gets a wet hug.
Our new brothers. Over 9000 miles away...still the same loaf!
They all wanted to sing a couple hymns, so I brought a guitar along.
The whole gang, except for Hkawn Din, who took the picture.
