Since Dorian became the minister here in Santa Ana, we have seen some growth. Every week Dorian is working really hard in visiting church members and in Bible studies. Recently, a Baxter student and his family and another family from Tegucigalpa have been out here on Saturday and Sunday working in this community. What a great team Dorian, Jose, and Fernando make. God is using them and the results are amazing.
This morning there were more Hondurans in this little church than there has ever been since this church was planted. There were over 90 Hondurans, that is counting adults and children, and several gringos as well. The singing was awesome and, at times, downright emotional. When the children left, I am sure those Sunday school classrooms were packed.
Last weekend we saw two adults accept Christ and be baptized. This morning we had the pleasure of seeing another sweet lady named Marta accept Christ and be baptized. I love watching baptisms in Honduras. Everyone is so happy and not concerned if the Baptists are going to beat us to Barnhill's or Golden Corral or Ginger or whatever. After this lady was baptized, everyone sang "I've Been Redeemed." I love that song and I have got to learn the words in spanish.
What a great way to start a new week.

Dear Terri,
We had 3 young people from the youth group baptized yesterday and it was very uplifting to see here in Columbus Church so I know how you feel about the great moment when you aren't thinking about where everyone is going to go and eat for a change.
Mi Toro's is the big restaurant of choice here now a days after Sunday Services instead of Ginger's. The Freeman Motel and Ginger's table was hoppin' Saturday however. ha
PLan to email you today. Have thoughts on my mind that I do not want to share here.
Love,
Ginger
Correction.
Two were baptized yesterday here.
Not 3.
I think had a typo moment there.
