Everyone: How was the baptism and did you get pictures?
It went great! Everyone felt the
spirit there, and everything went smoothly. While they were changing
we watched the ending clip of the testaments where the savior
appears. I testified of the savior afterwards and I think it went
well. Yes I got pictures.
Dad: If Lorielle starts sending
weekly audio updates, will you be able to listen to the MP3? Can you
copy them to your voice record to listen to them later instead of
using your one hour computer time?
That should work, I don't see why it
wouldn't.
Dad, in answer to those chapters you
gave me. Here is an excerpt from my weekly to president Beesley
about what I studied.
'I was studying in
Alma
48 and 49. My dad referenced those to me because he knows I like
Ether
12:27. I was reading and discovered that Captain Moroni
exemplifies Ether
12:27. In chapter 48 it says that Moroni had been “preparing
the minds of the people to be faithful unto the Lord their God.”
And in verse 12 it shows his humility, “Yea, a man whose heart did
swell with thanksgiving to his God, for the many privileges and
blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did labor
exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people.” Not only
was he humble, but he also had charity and spent all his time
thinking about and working for his people, not himself. And in verse
16 it says, “And also, that God would make it known unto them
whither they should go to defend themselves against their enemies…
and this was the faith of Moroni, and his heart did glory in it;”
They were humble and sought after righteousness, and they were guided
and protected by the Lord. I am thankful to have the Lord on my
side. I know he is always there for me. Whenever I need help I know
where to turn and can say like Nephi, “Nevertheless, I know in whom
I have trusted.” What a blessing it is to be serving the Lord and
our Heavenly Father’s children here in Alaska.'
Love, Elder Record
