An incredible week once again

This week was a great week. Our speaker was David Holmbeck, a YWAM base director from Weyerhaeuser, WI. He was a great teacher and really fun to have around. He really wanted to get to know all of us, so he spent a lot more time at our house around us than any of our other speakers yet. We spent the week talking about the Holy Spirit and many other topics that this led us to like baptism. Since I mentioned it now, I'll tell you. I was baptized on Friday with one of the other girls, Katelyn. I was baptized as an infant, but wanted to be re-baptized when I personally, fully realized that I was a new creation in Christ. I wanted to follow biblical precedent and be baptized to physically demonstrate that. There are pictures of it online, too, if you want to see. Other things we learned about were the gifts of the Spirit. It was really good to learn about the Holy Spirit, there was so much I didn't know, or maybe I knew, but didn't understand or remember. I do now, so that is good. It still feels like there is so much to learn, and I am excited to absorb more. Other things that happened this week.... We had to say goodbye to Mirjam on Wed., she was only here to volunteer for a month and now she is traveling around Mexico with her best friend. We all miss her, but were glad we had this time with her.
Oh, and last weekend we took Mirjam to the flagpole since she hadn't been there yet. We then walked around downtown some. They have some cool fountains there. I have pictures of that, too. It is just generally a nice place to walk around. I think that is all for now. Goodnight!
