Delight Olson attended summer camp at Timber Ridge Camp every year for the past several years. Each year response cards are passed out for the campers to complete. These cards provide an opportunity for campers to indicate an interest in Bible studies or baptism. And each year Delight checked the box saying she wanted to be baptized.

Last school year Dave Fish, Spencer pastor, began Bible classes with the students at the Spencer Adventist Christian Elementary School, where Delight just completed the fourth grade. She took the first opportunity to tell the pastor of her desire for baptism. Delight completed the Bible studies and plans were made for her baptism.

On a Sabbath afternoon during the summer, her desire for baptism was granted in a special ceremony at the Timber Ridge Camp lake. Even though the weather was rainy and stormy, there was much rejoicing. Sunshine was on the faces of Delight's friends and family as they witnessed the blessed outcome of the team effort between the summer camp workers, church school, home, and church.
