Salvation, Water baptisms, Prison Ministry, and other blessings!

I planned on writing a few times a week and here I am writting for the first time in 3 weeks.

I will try to blog small bits of information in the future which may help me blog more often.

We had a woman accept (trust in) Christ approx. 1 month

We'll on August 19th we had a water baptism service (immersion style) with 5 people getting baptized at Chapman Dam about 20-30 minutes from Kane.

It was a wonderful experience for us all (especially the 5 water baptized). We followed that by a church fellowship in one of the pavilions. It was a rainy day but we had all agreed rain or shine we would do the water baptism. So we all got atleast a little wet :-)

Also, prison ministry that was started in July has been going great. I go to the small prison every Wednesday for 3-5 hours and visit 6-8 inmates one at a time.

This week I helped one inmate on a short furlough see his baby born, and spend time with his fiancee (the baby's mother). Been a tiresome week running back and forth from prison, court, hospital but well worth it. I knew it was going to be a busy week, so I planned for it accordingly.

Also, one inmate I have been visiting is out and we (me and others in our church) are helping him get on his feet and grow with Jesus.

Pool (billiard league) starts next week - This is another ministry of mine. But due to my schedule I am only playing as a subsitute as I can not commit to every Thursday night.

As a sub they can move me around to various teams. I pray this gives me more opportunities to minister to more people in my community. Please, pray for this ministry too!

And praise the LORD I celebrated my wife's (Joyce) birthday on Tuesday, as did our church with Cake and pie at Wednesday service.

These are some of the many highlights of the past few weeks.

I sure would like your prayers as I continue to seek God's direction in the many ministries I am involved in, and learning to put God FIRST. Also, wisdom to know that AFTER PUTTING GOD FIRST, to know how to prioritize the ministry(s) in which God has placed me.

ALSO remember, there are lots of ways to stay in touch with me, which I feel is important for US.
