Set Up for Success
"Baptism is a precious
gift from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Through faith in Jesus Christ
repentance, and baptism, we are cleansed of our sins, become members of the
Lord’s Church, and qualify to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. We make
sacred promises to Heavenly Father, and He promises us blessings in return. As
you prayerfully read the scriptures on this poster, you will learn about these
promises, or covenants."
Last night Sister Crook and I got to witness a baptism of one of the people we have been teaching. It was a BEAUTIFUL event. It was so neat to see him progress and enter the "gate" of baptism because HE had PRAYED and found out for himself.
While Sister Crook and I
were teaching him, we would come home at night and just say this is too easy,
teaching people CAN NOT be
this easy... As
we continued to teach him, all we could think was when is something going to go
wrong. To our surprise, everything
went smooth. He was able to go
through the steps and learn what he needed to come closer to
Christ.
As Sister Crook and I got into the car, I said we just need to
say a prayer of gratitude. As we prayed and thanked Heavenly Father, I realized something
new I had learned. That missionary work is easy, because the message we are sharing is TRUE. Heavenly Father wants us to succeed; he has not set us up to fail!
