Mark 1:4 and 9

4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

Christ was not baptized for the remission of sins because he had none. But, as Nephi recounts, he was baptized for the following reasons:
(1) As a token of humility before the Father;
(2) As a covenant that he would keep the commandments;
(3) As a prelude to receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost;
(4) To gain entrance to and be saved in the kingdom of God, for no one, not even the Son of God, can so obtain without baptism; and
(5) As a pattern and an example for all men, and so that he could say: “Follow thou me” and also, “He that is baptized in my name, to him will the Father give the Holy Ghost, like unto me; wherefore, follow me, and do the things which ye have seen me do.” (See 2 Ne. 31:5–12.)

Elder Bryan's First Letter Home

7/1/2009 =) Save my Pillow!

Dear Family Unit,

I’m alive! =) haha, they told us to put that. xD Anyways, it ‘s really… organized here. Really nice, actually. But I’m totally lacking in mind energy. So I’m really fighting to stay awake,.zzzzzz.., wait. Just kidding. It’s not really that bad, but yeah.

We just got a little free time to write our families. So that is what I am doing!

But First! I need to know this, no joke, like as soon as possible. ASAP! Did I have my Typhoid shot, and was my last TD/Tetanus shot in ’03? Cause if so, that is too long ago and I must get an other one.

Anyways it’s bed time and I HAVE to get to bed on time so I will try cram as much in as I can in the next six minutes.

Today was all the orientation stuff. We had food, devotional, introduction, food and then we got together with our Branch. We are in Branch 22. I have 3 other Roomies. Elder Eversole is my companion fro the next 3 weeks till I go to Dom. Rep. Then I have Elder Banner and Elder Elg <-- Pronounced El … oh gosh, I don’t even know how to put it phonically. Oh, wells. But it’s ten thirty, so I will get back to you guys hopefully next week! =)

Love you All!

Elder Brandon Bryan
