Joanna's special day of salvation

Today Joanna asked Jesus to be her savior and give her eternal life.  She sought out Pastor Richard Spencer last week about when she could get baptized. Then today, she asked him to talk again after church. He sat down with us in the sanctuary and talked to and prayed with Joanna. She's so happy and looks forward to her baptism!
He even made a special note in her bible to mark the date aand time. Jason and I were in tears of joy and agreed it was the best day! Never in our lives have we had so much joy! 

other special moments from today: 

Thomas was attentive when pastor spencer spoke and asked questions and was answering some questions, too.

I gave Joanna her new bible before church this morning. Prior to this, she was planning to take a doll on the car trip. But when it was time to leave, Thomas saw the doll and reminded Joanna that she forgot her doll, she said that she didn't want to take it anymore. I told her about John 3:16, and she found and read it all by herself and When we got to church she asked if she could read it to her class. I told her of course she could. And of course she did. 

May God bless all the special people who have showed Joanna the love of Jesus. And I give special praises to God for those who have specifically shared scripture or prayed with my daughter!
