Today was Remembrance Sunday. It started off with the usual St Helenian enthusiasm with which they celebrate the day.

BUT
This afternoon was the highlight of my 4 years on St Helena! Graeme gave a simple but powerful message on what it means to be saved. Then it was the baptism of the Mary, Mildred and Vida. Their testimonies (mother and 2 sisters) reminded me of the Scripture that says "not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord". Quiet, unassuming people; but who spoke openly and clearly of God's working in their lives.
