October 2016: "The Georges in Peru"

Today Paul was baptized in the same natural spring that Ben and Mia were baptized in a couple of years ago.  The whole church and several missionary colleagues came out to celebrate with us for Paul's big day.  I had the privilege of preaching before the baptism and to be at Paul's side when he got baptised.

Our church is located near the city square of Tiabaya, a semirural community.  On some Sunday nights we have to compete with the noise of election campaigns or fiestas put on by the municipality.  Last night there was a party in the lot next to the church with lots of bright lights and lots of people out on the sidewalk.  Thankfully, they weren't particularly loud.  Ben had to turn up the volume of our music a little bit to keep the song leader from getting out of sync with the music and we could hear our special guest from Chile without much difficulty.
