David and I were sitting on the veranda the other night so that some of our friends could have a private conversation inside. We were enjoying the cool night air that came after the rains. We heard beautiful singing coming our way. In a few minutes, Oscar, a young graduate, came into view followed by a group of secondary students.
“Did you come to sing to us?” we asked hopefully.
“No,” Oscar replied, “we came to baptize.”
They sang as they walked around the house to our backyard tank. We watched as Oscar baptized a ninth grade girl. There were hugs and smiles all around, a closing prayer, and then more singing as they went on their way rejoicing.

David and Linda,
I have come to sing to you.
Through the love of God our savior All will be well.
Free and changeless is His favor, All will be well.
Precious is the blood that healed us, Perfect is the grace that sealed us.
Strong the hand stretched out to heal us, All will be well.
Though we pass through tribulation,
All will be well.
Ours is such a full salvation, All will be well.
Happy when in God confiding, fruitful if in Christ abiding.
Holy through the Spirit's guiding,
All will be well.
We expect a bright tomorrow, All will be well.
Faith can sing through days of sorrow, All will be well.
On our Ftaher's love relying, Jesus every need supplying,
In our living and in our dying,
All will be well.
You two are awesome and dearly loved.
Kurt
