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.)

gah! turns out you didn't get my letter soon enough, eh? :'(

Tue, Oct 13, 2009

sad day. oh wells. I had sent a little letter (on another day other than Pday... I just wanted to make sure you got to know before I got here today, but I guess you didn't get the chance to receive it soon enough) well, no matter. just to let you know, every six weeks, due to the transfer meeting, ( yes, which is every six weeks xD ) our P-day gets moved to the Tuesday before. so here I am, today, instead of tomorrow. :)

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dang it! we came here a bit earlier, cause all the washers and Dryers were taken, and they are going to close fifteen minutes before my time is up for lunch!!!! (which is in five minutes) DANG IT!!! what is the deal?

dah! so we went to the Yunque (jungle)last week. I have no idea if I will get the chance to send my pictures, but we got some cool ones. we got to see a few water falls. it was gorgeous there!

and we got a call from President Dewsnup last night about transfers. I am to remain here in Rio Grande. :-O and Elder Maldonado is headed off to Salina, which is on the southern part of the Island and it's a desert there. ha ha ha! how fun, eh? yeah, for sure. but yes... my new companion is to be Elder Dye. and I meet him tomorrow. woot, craziness!

so yes. this Sunday I fasted for Bryan. please please PLEASE answer his questions. :D I just want him to become as prepared as possible. :)

I don't know if I'll have enough time to get some pictures sent this week (especially from the Yunque, but I'll see what I can do.)

so, to get questions answered while I have the chance:

so the Branch we have here. it's pretty small, people wise. but with area, it's pretty large... maybe about 55 members. there's some interesting ones here. you know how that goes. with only a few "sturdy" members, it's makes it difficult to build a foundation for the rest. :)

and alas, my time is up. so I wish you a good next week, and hope to hear from you again! xD can't wait for my package tomorrow! woot!

Love you mucho!
