The baptism went smoothly!!! There is seriously such a heart warming
feeling seeing these people make covenants with God. I know the
heavens are rejoicing for the jaramillo family and Laura. They already
are great members.
This scripture really hit me the day of their baptism.
Mosiah 5
7 And now, because of the covenant which ye have made ye shall be
called the children of Christ, his sons, and his daughters; for
behold, this day he hath spiritually begotten you; for ye say that
your hearts are changed through faith on his name; therefore, ye are
born of him and have become his sons and his daughters.
8 And under this head ye are made free, and there is no other head
whereby ye can be made free. There is no other name given whereby
salvation cometh; therefore, I would that ye should take upon you the
name of Christ, all you that have entered into the covenant with God
that ye should be obedient unto the end of your lives.
9 And it shall come to pass that whosoever doeth this shall be found
at the right hand of God, for he shall know the name by which he is
called; for he shall be called by the name of Christ.
When we take upon us the name of Christ and follow him "we shall know
the name by which we are called." I know that Jesus is my savior...our
light...our way to return home. The only way! I have found to know
myself more as I come unto him.
I love my mission and find so much joy in this work.
Also I'm in Italy and got permission to change pday to see an opera at
the scala tonight. Bragging rights.
Have a great week!!
