Backyard Baptisms

Sunday after chapel the house was filled with soldiers and families gathered to celebrate three baptisms. After a delicious grilled lunch, we put the liner back into the baptismal pit we'd dug last Easter and began our 'bucket brigade' to fill it up with warm water to offset the icy chill of the hose. The sun even came out after a morning of rain. Brad baptized Erika and Spencer Eifler, two of the children of one of the commanders who has been a friend to the House. Chaplain Craven was honored to baptize his assistant Danny. There was cake and volleyball and lots of fellowship afterwards to celebrate these three believers who so publicly demonstrated their faith.
