Josh was Baptized!! Pic further down. The
ward has been working with and on him for the last three years when his
mom was baptized. He finally decided it was time for him to make this
covenant.
We also found two new investigators
Micah and Heydn (no i did not misspell his name). They are 9 and 12 and
their dad was baptized a little over a year ago and have been attending
church with him but have never really had an interest in being baptized.
Something
I have noticed in just this last month or so is that the youth of the
world are searching for God. It has been interesting as most of our
investigators are youth. I guess after the strict years of religion
pushing then with the generation of step off we are hitting a generation
who wants the love that only Heavenly Father can provide.
My
testimony is that there is some things that only God can provide and
that only parents can come close to, insert a word that is stronger than
copy, in the lives of the children of men. We are just like children
when it comes to our problems. I have see a few kids that kick and
scream when they don't get what they want so they turn to things that
make them more unhappy and others that take it patiently until they
either get their way or figure ways that work just as well. That is what
I think Christ was saying when he told us to be like a child. We just
get caught up often in the heat of the moment and through a temper
tantrum and blame the only being in the universe that cares more about
our happiness than his own.
When times are
going rough remember one that some one has it worse than you but two
there is always a Father in Heaven to turn to instead of the things of
the world that bring only temporary happiness then greater anger,
sadness, frustration, etc.
