June 8, 2019 Baptism at the River Jordan

Joel Crawford, the son of one of the expat families here, was baptized on Saturday at the Jordan River.  The river looks very muddy and it took a lot of courage for him to get in.  But it was a great service, with their family all participating.  We drove from Jerusalem down in elevation well below sea level to the banks of the Jordan River.  You can see how arid and dry it is.  I included a road sign directing to the Dead Sea and Jericho.
