 My name is Reina, I'm from Pasco, Washington. I came to this church because I was going through a really rough time and I needed some advice. And if not advice, you know, somebody to listen to me. And there was somebody that I admired a lot and she comes to this church, her name is Solomia. I messaged her one day and I asked her about the church and if she's willing to invite me. And she was more than happy for me to come. Later on I realized that she's actually been praying for me for years. And there's nothing like that feeling to know that somebody out there was watching over you. And here I am. My life before coming here, it was kind of hectic, something like a novella. I grew up in a house with a lot of siblings. And with that it was kind of hard to feel special or to feel like, it was hard for me not to feel different. So with all that I kind of just pushed myself away. I kind of, you know, didn't want to become a burden on anybody else. I moved out at 15 and from there I never went back. I kind of just kept pushing and pushing, you know, as hard as life got. And it has gotten really hard for me. So when I was living on my own it just became really, really lonely. It became hard because I just had no one to go to. I had friends, but they didn't get me very far at all. And, you know, as things kept coming to me, you know, legal problems, school issues, work, living situation, you know, my clothes. All that came from how I had to get it. It all became so much harder, all that stress. Any issues in my life was just piling up. And, you know, I got to a point where things just got too rough. I gave my life to Christ the night that Pastor Vlad was preaching about a wolf, a sheep, and a shepherd. As he spoke, I kind of realized that I was that wolf. And I also realized that now I needed a shepherd more than ever to kind of guide me and take me to where I'm supposed to be. Because I know that I'm strong, but I can only get myself so far. I could only imagine where I could be if I would have just gave my problems to God. I'm getting baptized today because I'm ready to move forward with my relationship with Jehovah. And I'm excited to have him kind of as a partner in my life and be his partner in life. And kind of hopefully I can have, be an example to others and bring them to church with me and show them what a life like this is capable of. Reina, do you believe in Jesus Christ as God's Son and your personal Lord and Savior? Yes. Do you promise to follow him with good and clear conscience for the rest of your life? Yes. Based on your faith, confession, and commitment will baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
