baptism

3 Nephi 11:38

38 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

One of the most difficult things for our missionaries is finding a man and a woman who have a testimony and want to be baptized, but they cannot because they are not married. They cannot get married because one or the other of them is not divorced. Divorce is very expensive and very time-consuming. We recently had a couple that have made it through all the loops and hoops and after three years were finally able to get married and then baptized the next day.

One of the sweetest experiences is to go to a baptism. Presidente and I went and met up with Elder Parque and Elder Davis this Saturday afternoon. These kids are excited to be part of the Young Men/Young Women programs in their ward and their leaders were there to welcome them.
