I had my first baptism last week!
It was such a great experience. We baptized a 16 year old girl named Valentina. We found her a couple weeks ago and have been working with her. It was such a great experience to watch her progress and eventually enter into the waters of baptism.
I finished reading a book by Elder Ballard called "Our Search For Happiness." It talks about the things that Latter-Day Saints believe in, and the things that make us happy. It made me think of the things that made me happy. At first, I thought of the simple things like food, sleep, and sports. But then I thought of the eternal perspective of happiness. It's the Gospel of Jesus Christ that brings me true happiness. NOTHING, compares to the joy and happiness of the Gospel! The Gospel brings me so much joy, and it is a privilege to share it with others. It is truly a blessing in my life to share the gospel.
Before the mission I never really realized how much missionaries need the help of members. Members are such critical roles in finding, teaching, and converting. The missionaries in Utah NEED you guys. They need help to find and convert people. You guys can play a major role in bringing the happiness of the gospel in others lives. That's my challenge, HELP THE MISSIONARIES!
Love,
