Baptism Nov. 13, 2022 Elise Walton

I have gone to church my whole life, but I didn't really think deeply about the meaning of it or getting baptized. This summer I went to Sportsworld at LEFC and another VBS camp at Grace Church and it gave me a chance to think about my faith. I decided that I wanted Jesus to forgive my sins through his death and resurrection on the cross. I want to get baptized because I feel like my relationship with Jesus will be stronger. Also, it shows other people that I am a follower of Jesus. I like reading the Bible and my devotion book helps me think about what I should do or what I should have done.
God helped me and my family [especially my mom, dad, and John/my brother] get through John being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac. My family and I learned that we need to be flexible and patient. A few years ago, my family moved from Virginia to Lititz. It was tough because we had to drive four hours and basically start over with a new school, a new community, and it was a long way to see grandparents and cousins. But when we got here, LEFC was very supportive. It was tough but God helped me through it. I think that God has really provided for me and my family.
