Haiti Life: Baptism

Greetings to you all again, from the beautiful lush valley of Allegre, Haiti, where the rain is abundant and the Lord is nigh unto them that Fear Him.
Yesterday morning we got up to a beautiful sunny morning, everything was still, even the frogs, birds, roosters, seemed a bit quieter. It was 5:30 AM and Pastor Levy woke me and told me to rise and shine, and pray for the baptism, it was going to be a joyous occasion for everyone.
I got ready and took the four wheeler, picked up the "head boy" and drove down to the river, the sun rays were beaming through the trees right onto the water, the water was crystal clear, just a perfect time, it was 7 when we arrived and by 8 most of the people had showed up, and it all began, there were some older people and many young people that got baptized, 28 altogether.
Many of these believers have made a huge choice to take this next step of faith and to proclaim their allegiance to the ONE TRUE GOD, knowing that when they come home, some of them would face difficulties especially those whose families are steeped in voodoo and devil worship.
Singing and praising God was continuous and joyful as one after the other went into the water, Pastor Levy and Pastor Jeera did the baptizing and Claudny and Dolfe helped them out of the water and prayed over them.
About half way through a lady walked into the water and after asking her questions they proceeded to baptize her, as she went into the water, the devil attacked her fiercely, she started shouting, screaming, hollering, thrashing around, jumping in and out of the water, both Pastors gave what they had, and pushed her down, baptizing her, two others jumped in to help carry her to shore, but it was a tough struggle, finally with 5 guys they were able to do it, and hold her there, it was clear that the devil was trying to throw her into the water to drown, but with lots of praying she suddenly calmed down and was suddenly normal, and she started praising God.
I asked Pastor Levy what exactly happened. He said that she is from a torn up voodoo infested family, and by becoming a Christian she already had stepped outside the "norm", but when now sealing that vow to God through obedience in baptism the devil tried his best to stop it, Pastor felt something will happen, so it came as no surprise, and with some prayer the attack stopped, and thankfully she didn't open her heart to the devil or let him in.
I praise God for the richness of His Grace and Love for us humans, grains of sand, I'm humbled to be His child, and want to strive more and more to perfection, laying aside all sin that so easily besets me.
