Guess what?! It was Easter yesterday. haha surprise! The coolest thing in the world happened on Saturday (two cool things) So Bobbie is an investigator that we have and she found out that we weren't really doing anything for Easter because we don't have our families here and she invited us over to hide Easter eggs and to have dinner with their family. Well, we get there and they were so excited when we showed up. Bobbie has a husband and two children and then she also had her parents over! It was so cool because they totally welcomed us to the family. Bobbie's mother also gave us a picture of a cross with a scripture at the bottom. Oh man, we just felt so loved. We normally get that from members, but to have an investigator treat us that way was so special. When we had to leave they were super sad. They told us to come back anytime :) Oh man I love nice people!
The second coolest thing! The Torres family got baptized and they asked me to give a talk! That was way nice of them and I am grateful that I got to go back and see them and that ordinance performed. Baptism is so cool and if you read about it in the Bible Dictionary it talks about how is it not an option if you want the fulness of salvation! Just plain and simple as that.
I was reading in 3 Nephi how Christ comes again and the people just want him to stay (I would want Him to stay too) but He calls apostles and gives them the authority to baptize. I mean, He saw that they wanted Him to stay with them, so the best way to comfort them was to give them the opportunity to be baptized and get the Holy Ghost. I thought that was super powerful. He did that for us as well, when the Gospel was Restored to the Earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith!
Baptism is a blessing:) I love you all!
Love, Alisha
