Easter Sunday

So, I know this post is a little bit late, but it took me awhile to get my pictures! On this past Easter Sunday morning I rolled out of bed and walked down to Waikiki Beach for sunrise Easter service in what I had slept in! The service was very moving... So much so that I decided to (finally) be baptized!!!



Before the service officially began they told the story of how Christianity came to Hawaii and even re-enacted it with the boat out in the ocean and the blowing of the conch shell. Then we all began to sing praise. As we were singing I began thinking about how I had never been baptized and, honestly, no sooner had that thought crossed my mind than the song ended and the pastor began to speak about how they would be having baptisms after service! I then thought, "no, I can't, because I don't have a camera and I would want pictures." No sooner had that thought crossed my mind than the pastor said, "and we will be having someone there taking pictures of the blessed event!" I knew then that it was meant for me to be baptized. After service I called my Mom and sister and told them what I was about to do. They both cried and were so excited for me. I walked into the water I love, off the islands I love, and was submerged in the name of the God I love.
