Birth of Marissa

A eager baby kicking and moving around the mothers womb wanting to get out. One day on April 25, 1993 the baby was determined to get out while the mother was at church. “AAHHHH my baby is coming out!” The mother yelled in pain. Everyone in the church building swarmed to help the mom. But all they could do is watch and listen to the yells of the mother. The pastor called 911 for help, while the baby was coming out. She grabbed her husbands hand. She held it so tight, his hand turned purple. The husband didn't even noticed, he was preoccupied by the birth. 

All you could hear was the mothers screaming. While everyone watched and prayed silently. Then you hear a baby coughing trying to gasp air. A baby was born in a church. As soon as the baby came out the pastor asked the mother if she wanted her baby girl to be baptized. “Yes” , she said while crying with tears of joy. 

“What’s her name?” the paster asked. “Her name is Marissa”, said the mother while looking into the her baby’s eyes. “Then in obedience to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I Baptize you my sister, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen” said the pastor. 

The ambulance arrived right after the baby was baptized. They took the baby  and the mother to the hospital to be taken care of.
