Last night, Mary Anne and I went to the stake center for Elsie Thacker's baptism. Mary was over the top excited for her own upcoming baptism. I know that she will be prepared and understands it.
When we got home a couple of missionaries dropped by unexpectedly and gave us a wonderful object lesson on baptism and the sacrament where they made ink seem to disappear the object lesson was how the Holy Ghost is a baptism of fire and how although God has forgiven our sins the remenant still remains and there were still smudges. The kids really seemed to "get" that lesson! Mary excitedly showed her lesson where she wrote sin in pencil and then erased it. Joseph declared that although it was erased it could still sorta be seen and the paper would never be ideal or original again. I gave the missionaries hot cocoa. It is sooo bitterly cold!
Oh, at the baptism. Elsie and Kennedy Bryner sang "When I am Baptized". It was beautiful! Another object lesson was given:
Those being baptized (which included Mya Colyer and Azraella Something both of whom go to school with Mary).
TAKE to remember our promises made to God.
Take His name upon us.
Always remember Him.
Keep his commandments.
Everyday repeat.
Then we get his spirit to be with us.
A missionary told another one. Using a Kit-Kat you use KAT to Keep his commandments, Always remember and Then you have his spirit to be with you.
