Today we celebrated God's promises to Darren in his baptism! It was very special that Ron Smeding did the baptism. I spoke to him about it earlier, and he thought it was very special too, that he could baptize a child of one of his former students! I never realized that "Hendrik" meant "ruler of the home", so I guess that you, Marya and Eric, will have to really work hard to establish your position in the family! Darren is doing his best right now to live up to his name! Marya had asked me to carry him into church, but that was largely a formality--Eric is very good at keeping him quiet!
It was great to celebrate with the Renkema family, and spend time getting to know them better, and also to get to know Janice and Jono before they go to Africa. But we really missed you, David and Jenn and Brian. I'm sure that you all wanted to be here, but I guess your friends didn't consult with you as to when they should get married, Jenn. And David, well, a weekend flight from Korea just wouldn't work too well, would it! Hopefully we can get some pictures posted soon!
