Pooper scoopers! I forgot to get to you about when we're gonna do PHONE CALLS! :-O so basically, we're gonna do phone calls at Annie's house, so that means that I would be doing calls at around 6:00 to 6:30. I don't know exactly for certain WHEN, cause we're gonna hear from president Dewsnup tomorrow if there's any special things that we need to worry about, but if you need to, you can text Annie and she an give us a call to ask us specifics if I don't get the chance to get back to you next week, for some weird reason. but yeah. SUNDAY, the 9th! around 6 my time... which should be 3 your time... I don't know. email me!
oh... and your question about if I like emails better or letters.... well, I like to receive them both, but for me, I'm not sure about sending them... it all depends, cause sending letters doesn't really have a set time, but email does. plus Elder Harvey doesn't really like to WRITE letters unless they're to his girlfriend, ja ja ja, so yeah... sorry I forgot that... but I like 'em all. no worries! :D

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.)
