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.)

Partial "Thoughts" email to Elder Bryan
Well, what a week. First you copy and paste the info request that the miss office wanted, your official letter came in the mail about you being a district leader and now we get an email (only sent to dad's email by the way!) saying you are considering extending till the 22nd. WOW!! I made 2 phone calls- to Bryan and Robin and posted on facebook. Do you want to know what some of the comments were? Maybe not.
First I will say that we support you whatever your final decision is and know you must feel that this is the right thing to do. There must be someone that needs you to be there for a little longer! you only get one mission! When do you have to give them your final decision? Tell me what your thoughts are.
Bryan was more positive than I expected. He said he supports you whatever you decide. I told him to email you.
Jesse Moore is excited cuz she would be here for your homecoming
Marissa Neumann-King said she wished that she could have (stayed longer)
I won't tell you what Josh and Steven said lol
Jamie Keys was excited cuz she would be back from her sisters and Cameron would be done with Camp Helaman
Tawny says you should do what you feel is right
OK, here is what Steven said- tell him I will woop his behind if he does! and he was promised just 2 years.
Josh-(Darth Vader after he finds out he choked Padme to death.) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and That's a long time in dog days. and
If this means Ehren comes later, then that's a double no.
Mckay was excited because that would possibly mean Donny would go to camp Helaman.
Even your booger (Shadow) is willing to wait but that it will cost you some cat nip!
Well the hardest is Robin- she is not happy cuz they have their tickets for the 14th-20th! I will calm her down and figure something out. They can change them but tickets are more now. I will let you know....
