After many challenges and complications and mayhem and such, the Lord rewarded me, my companion, and the ward with a blessing: Mateus' baptism. He has attended the church a really long time but hasn't shown interest in being baptized until now. This week he made that great convenant: to follow Christ and do everything he needs to do to live with Him again someday. I am so grateful for Mateus and the example he has shown me by being willing to change to inherit eternal happiness with his family. The week ended with a really cool opportunity to bring the sacrament to a couple in our ward who are sick right now. Participating that intimate experience reminded me how significant and important our baptismal covenants are. As we come to the Lord humbly and become born again, the gates of Heaven are opened unto us. I am so grateful for my baptism and the relationship I have with my Heavenly Father while here on this earth. There is nothing more importante than to enjoy this mortal experience while preparing for the glorious day of our return.
