Baptism
Well, as many of you know, I was baptised yesterday at the Regina Fellowship Assembly church. This was something that was a long time in coming, as it had been more than a year since I first made it known that I desired this experience.
The baptism took place as part of the morning service. Many of those who I attend church with in Saskatoon came down to visit this event, including David Gabruch, an Elder there with whom I have formed a particular friendship. The usual attendance at the Regina church is about twenty people, but it was more than doubled yesterday (by Joel's count, 42! Yay Douglas Adams!)!
The service was ministered by David Cotcher and Trevor Sunbow (whose last name I have undoubtedly mangled...someone please correct me), with some additional words of encouragement from David Gabruch.
I would just like to thank all those who came to the service, and the others who could not be there, but whose prayers and thoughts were with me.

Congratulations Matt! I am so glad you got to have the experience. I was told that you looked really joyful - it must have been special to have so many people share the day with you.
Oh, and because you asked, it's Sundbo. I remember the first time I tried to spell it I put down Sunbow (I thought it was like Rainbow).
Thanks Shannon. It was a good day (I caught a new fish).
