Baptism at the Beach

Time to chronicle Willy's baptism. The missionaries called me and asked if I would be willing to baptize Willy and of course there was only one answer. Willy is a 62 year old Haitian who has been on the island for almost his whole life. He has eight kids and is fantastic.

He has been an amazing example of faith and humility. He has been friendly and always thanks everyone at church for helping him join the church. It is funny because he refers to himself as an 'old fool' and can't believe that God would send missionaries out to save an 'old fool'.

When we walked out of the water he started praying in a group and was so full of gratitude and appreciation for the chance to meet the missionaries and be introduced to the church. It has been amazing to see someone who is so full of faith. For a little man, he has a great big smile.
