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.)

Re: At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?
OH GOODNESS... which arm rest at the movie theater is mine? oooo... I think it might be the left one! gosh... I can't remember! It's been so long since I've gone! ja ja ja! what about YOURS? also: which eye do you look at when you talk to people? their left eye or their right eye? :3 (ja ja ja is ha ha ha in Spanish!)
ja ja ja, no... the foreign invader has not gone ANYWHERE! In fact, I think he's having raves. and I'm feeling them. :'( but only two days ago and the day before that. other than that, I haven't felt anything since I've left the hospital. :-/ blarg, this is so fun! :D can't you tell?! *eye twitches* it's the BEST! :D ja ja ja. but yeah, I've heard the zapping thing is pretty easy and darn near painless (which goes with what you've heard) but it's just the whole thought of, you know, having a little camera and laser shoved up somewhere that doesn't normally have things shoved up there. you know. but I'm very much quite sure that it would be a lot easier than Steve (He named the stone Steve!)having his raves (parties) all the time. :D ja ja ja, of COURSE there's not going to be any funny jokes about kidney stones, it's ridiculous! they're not funny at all. >:-( grr, angry face.
but I don't think that my throat's been tight because of the throwing up, I think it just might be from all of the tension that the stone is causing and where it's been sitting. I have this feeling that most of it might be relieved after Steve leaves. but I think it might just be similar to how you had all of your back tension from the gall stones. when I saw that things kinda fell in place in my head, but then again, that might just be me. xD so yeah... I just hope that its soon. I'm gonna be talking with sister Dewsnup tomorrow at Zone conference/interviews to figure out what she thinks I should do, seeing as my three weeks are up... :-/ so yeah... I guess I'll have news on that tomorrow, eh? well... I mean, I'LL know, but you guys won't. I'm gonna try and send out a letter to let you guys know what she thinks. :3
oh wow. ja ja ja, you REALLY had me confused about when you got pulled over! ha ha ha! who feels stupid? I DO! HA! ok. DRIVING TOO LONG ON THE FAST LANE. now I've got it. wait.... yes. ok. it's there now. driving too fast in the long lane. yup.
ja ja ja, I like Cameron's thing he put on facebook for my letter. that's really good! :D did you see how I had addressed it? xD I didn't want it to get lost if it was coming back to where I am! :D
you know, I miss sharing a room with Donny too... it's just not the same with people that you don't get REALLY well along with (nor are family) but it's very very very very true that I need to send a letter to Donny... I haven't sent him a single actual letter... just emails... *sigh* I'M SORRY DONNY! I
I'm gonna send you one either today or during this week, seeing as I'm such a big failure... :'( please forgive me!
oh goodness, it's good to know that Hannah and Dad are OK. (They were in a fender bender) good thing you explained stuff so well this time! :P I wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. gosh. so has dad been driving the truck more since I've left instead of the trailblazer? (my car! MY CAR!! oh my gosh, my car! do you remember what movie THAT'S from? :D )
WHEW! yes, Old San Juan was super cool! there was lots of REALLY cool shops. I got a FEW pictures, but not a ridiculous amount because we didn't have a super long time and Elder Harvey was looking for stuff for his parents for a while... which... *clears throat* well, I probably should have done that too... erm... moving on, it was cool there. I'm gonna try and go again soon so that I can pick up some cool stuffs for you guys.
so. speaking of our teaching pool! We've got an investigator! :D YAY! his names Oscar, and he came to church on Sunday! YAY! he's really sensitive to the spirit and can really really notice the change that is happening is his life and the difference of how he's felt since hes started reading the book of Mormon and has come to church, which is AWESOME! it's really fantastic that he can notice the difference how he feels. it really helps in the conversion process.
blarg! I've got to bust a move... I've run out of time. BUT, I'm gonna attach some photos from Old San Juan. They're more like puzzle fotos. you print 'em out then put them together! :D woo! OK. I'll send those and then bust a move!
I love you more than ANNIE loves you! IT'S TRUE! IT'S TRUE!
