Weekend Catch-Up!

We had a great weekend! We started out Friday meeting some friends of ours down at the Edmond Arts Festival. I think we may prefer this one over the OKC Arts Festival, just because it is a little less crowded. The food was just as good both places though, we got some of our favorites again. Izze and Ian enjoyed the kids area. They both got to look at the ponies, and then Izze took a jump in the big blow-up jumper. Then it was time for a balloon. A clown was making balloons for the kids, and Izze chose a worm balloon. It was going to be a butterfly until she saw the worm the kid in front of her got. It was huge! The hugeness (is that a word?) turned out to be a problem, because before we got to far, it had popped on the cement. We ended with some yummy ice cream, then it was home again for naps. We will probably make this a yearly thing going to the Arts Festival, because we all enjoyed it so much!

Friday Night we had a great time at a couples connect night at the church. There were lots of desserts and other food, and we played games and got to know the people at our table. I could tell I was a little rusty at the games because I couldn't remember how to play, and then once I did I can't say I helped our girls team very much. Sorry ladies. There was a special speaker, that spoke on marriage. The kids got to stay up extra late that night, they did pretty well though. We had a fun time.

Sunday was an awesome day. We had around 70 some people baptized in water. I have never experienced so many people at one time making a public commitment to the Lord. I know in the service I was in there were 25 baptized and then several other people in the service saved. It is so amazing to be a part of something so much bigger than I am. You just know it is God moving and working in people's hearts. What a great weekend!
