baptism

after talking about my 10 yrs younger cousin, wanna talk abt another 2 10yrs younger "friend" @ my church.
i was their junior high fellowship sponsor few years ago. last night one of them told me that they are going to baptise in the coming thanksgiving!!! wooo.. so thankful to God.. i was wondering if they know what "baptism" means.. but look back to myself.. 10 yrs ago.. i was still in hk.. n i wanna get baptised after i attend this church for 2 yrs! it's not a public shower, but it's a time to tell people that i m a CHRISTIAN!
