One who cleans out the mucky, yuck from the baptism site!! (AKA...my best friends)

We are currently preparing for our 5th Annual Riverside Baptism and Back to School Bash. Unfortunately, my Acacia group and best friends always get recruited to help out with all of my projects. This time, they got a really dirty job...MUCKRAKING!! That's right...we headed down to the baptism site to clean out all of the weeds and muck that was clouding up the water. We had a great time and smelled lovely after we finished. Thanks to my favorite peeps!! The baptism site looks really beautiful now. 

 Baptism is my favorite Riverside event!! I was baptized in our first baptism ceremony. As I told Scott then, I was more nervous for my baptism than I was for my wedding. I just love learning about all of the stories of God's power! I love that our entire community comes out to celebrate in this special event. It is truly a picture of the Kingdom of Heaven!

Chris, Ben, Kim, and Meg...the Muckrakers!!

You can't tell in this picture, but Ben kept slinging mud all over us!! Just love him. 

The supervisors...they took a little break to fish!!

Looking good guys!! Thanks for all of your hard work.
