Baptism

Shortly before I moved back to the States, 4 years ago, one of my students Beetle introduced me to a friend of his that had just returned from studying in the US for a year. Crystal had been a student at CWGC but the year I worked at the school she actually was in the states, so I didn't teach her. Even though we didn't have much time to spend together before I moved home, we really hit it off and have kept in touch all of these years.

A few weeks ago Crystal got in touch with me to let me know that she was going to be getting baptized and invited me to come. So this past Sunday (Dec 9th) was her baptism. It was so great to be able to witness her public expression of faith.

Crystal giving her testimony before the baptism. Unfortunately, the service was all in Cantonese so I wasn't able to understand what she said. But Crystal and I have talked many times about her life and her Christian walk so I'm sure I know what she shared.
