clean the font before we filled it up. So legit!!!
Wow aren't you blessed you're reading a missionary's email!,
Haha just kidding it's not that great of a read. Well, as you all have
seen from my pictures I had my first baptism on October 17th! Kristin
Thomsen has been investigating since last November and Elder Koenig
and I are the 7th set of missionaries she's met with! It was so
uplifting so see someone make such a sacred covenant with the Lord, I
can't describe how happy I felt! I wanted to jump up and down on the
rooftops and just let loose! But I didn't, because that would be
stupid and he missionary handbook says I can't be sumpid. Anyways,
I'll just share a little bit more, the other elders are waiting for me
to finish so we can play basketball (yes that Mormon stereotype
couldn't be more correct). We had a lot of less active members come to
church this week and it makes my heart leap for joy when I see someone
humbling themselves before God and showing Him that they are willing
to honor His commandments. I know that there is nothing more important
we can do on the sabbath than to make the time to attend church and
partake of the Sacrament. Jesus Christ bled in the garden of
gethsemane for each and every one of us and every time we renew that
covenant with Him, his atoning blood can wash over us and make us
clean again. I don't know why someone so perfect and wonderful would
want to suffer for a sinner like me, but I cannot praise him enough
for his sacrifice! Every day of my life is filled with the gospel and
the happiness that it brings and I wouldn't want to be doing anything
else than to share this message with everyone in E-Town. I invite all
of you to pray for and seek after the opportunities we have to uplift
our brothers and sisters and to be a light in the darkness. The Lord
can do miracles through our faith and our works, we just have to trust
Him to work through us. I love you all so much, I know that this is
the one true church upon the earth and the work will continue to roll
forward with or without us. Elder Ballard uses the comparison of the
church to "The Old ship Zion", but I would compare it to a train. This
work moves across the earth faster than we can anticipate and it will
move forward whether we choose to be a part of it or not. Make the
choice to grab hold of the gospel and get on the train!!! God bless,
go make the world a better place.
Elder Crow
