I think I've mentioned before Will and I are ward missionaries and we take this calling kinda seriously. lol! We are always visiting investigators with the missionaries and I feel like they are always at our house for dinner. Anyway, last Saturday night WE GOT A BAPTISM! Actually two, a mother and her daughter. I haven't been to a baptism in over a year and I had forgotten what it feels like to be part of one and was reminded of the convents you make with Heavenly Father the day you get baptized.



I know what baptism is and what it is for, but I had forgotten how strong the spirit is when their is a baptism, and how much you feel the saviors love when you are part of a child of god turning their lives unto Christ. One thing that stuck out to me during one of the talks was baptism is representing our death and Resurrection. I knew this, but hearing it again made me ponder on it. We are laid down in the water to represent our death, and brought back up out of the water representing Resurrection. We become clean and pure under the water and brought back up perfect. This convent is the first step towards our Heavenly Father and returing back to him. The next steps are to keep his comandments, get married in the the temple, and endure to the end. I am married to my eternal companion forever and I was able to go to the temple because I made covent when I was eight years old to follow Christ. Its crazy to think that the decision I make when I was eight affected my whole life and lead me to where I am today. I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me and a plan for everyone. I know that he is extremely happy when his children do good and follow in his path to return to him. I am so blessed to have the Gospel in my life, it truely makes me happy. I am so greatful that I am able to be with my sweetheart forever thur the priesthood. Heavenly Father has blessed me so much that I am forever in debt to him. I love the Gospel! Amen.
