Mother's Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of May in the DR. It is a widely celebrated holiday and most people try to get home to be with their mother. Stores are usually very busy and traffic is heavy. Traditionally, women are not to cook and most will receive gifts, even if they are very humble presents. 
We were reminded on this day what a wonderful thing it is when your own mother is a Christian and teaches you the stories of Jesus. Many of our members here do not have believing mothers and are trying now to witness to them. This is a picture of two expectant mothers who are thankful that the Holy Spirit has worked faith in their hearts and want to baptize their infants in this same faith.
The most popular question about Mother's Day is "How was your day"? The most common response is to tell how the family cooked for mom and what they gave mom as a gift. Most people want to tell you what they were able to give their mother as a sign of their appreciation for all she means to them. What a blessing to have a mother that we appreciate for having talked to us about Jesus, taking us to church and teaching us His Word. What greater blessing than to worship the Savior with your parents, to sit at Jesus' feet and learn about His love for all.
