News from Jesse and Janelle

I'm Jesse and I am 12 years old. I was baptized by my dad on March 1st. It was an exciting experience. My Grandparents stayed with my family to watch my baptism and I had fun being with them. A week ago my family went to Shepherds (a place where mentally handicapped people live) with a friend of mine and his family. We went to help out for the morning and take a tour. I am in Wisconsin until the 9th of March then we are going to Florida to visit my other Grandparents and say good by to them before we go to Brazil. -Jesse

My name is Janelle and I am eleven years old. My family and I are currently attending Spring Creek Church where I am a part of the youth group and am enjoying it very much. My brother, Jesse, and I just finished sixth grade. We were being home schooled, but when we get back to Brazil we will be attending an international school. On the 25th we went to Shepherds, a home for people who are mentally challenged. It was a very good experience for me and I learned that there are some people in the world who do not have the ability to do many things that I do everyday. Last Sunday, I was able to be baptized by my dad at Spring Creek Church. This is a very important step in my Christain growth as I try to live a life that is pleasing to God. - Janelle
