Kimberly Hasenpflug, who graduated from Great Lakes Adventist Academy in 1995, was re-baptized when her fiancée, Daryl Mynes II, was baptized for the first time on Sabbath, July 9, 2005. Jim Campbell, Tecumseh Adventist Church pastor, gave Bible studies to both.

Although Kimberly was baptized as a young girl, as she reviewed Bible truths, the Holy Spirit spoke more deeply to her heart. This resulted in a burning desire to make a new commitment to her Lord, Jesus Christ.

Daryl was a non-attending member of another denomination before he began to study the Bible with the pastor. As he attended the studies with Kimberly, the truths he learned began to transform his life. Each week his spiritual vision and understanding grew as he spent quality time reading his Bible and discovering God’s clear answers to his spiritual questions. When he made his decision to be baptized, he requested the service be held outdoors like Christ’s baptism. He and Kimberly were baptized in Lake Lock Erin at Onsted, Mich.

Kimberly’s mother says it's so exciting to observe the Holy Spirit’s work in their lives. “I praise God for the commitments my daughter and son-in-law-to-be have made. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!” Their lives were united in marriage in a church service in 2005.
