The document summarizes a religious baptism ritual witnessed by the author. Over 15 members of the community helped to set up for the ritual near a pool. The ritual involved the participants dressing in white and sitting by the pool while hymns were sung. The pastor provided a teaching on why baptism is important and the responsibilities one takes on in committing to God. Participants then lined up to be baptized by the pastor, with the men going first followed by the women. One girl in particular seemed very dedicated and emotional during the ritual, crying during the teachings but smiling after emerging from being baptized in the water.
