Baptism in Bergen!

Heisann alle, familie og venner!

Denne uken var veldig spennende, spesielt fordi en av våre undersøkerer ble døpt!

This week was very exciting, especially because one of our investigators was baptized!

Vargas, is incredible. His faith in Jesus Christ is inspiring, as he has made some big changes in his life. Because of his obedience to the commandments, he has experienced the blessings of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ for himself.

I've witnessed the miracle of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ has the power to heal us, change our hearts, change our desires, and help us overcome and achieve the seemingly impossible. Just think of that. We can, and should, be partaking of His love, grace, and mercy too. Are we really partaking of the depth and breadth of what Jesus Christ offers us? This Christmas season, let us partake of His love and offer back to Jesus Christ a gift from our hearts.

As I was there at his baptism, feelings of joy were bubbling over inside of me! Our souls are literally not big enough to contain the happiness of inviting others unto Christ and to see them make their own covenants with Heavenly Father.

D&C 18: 10-11, 15-16 says: "10 Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; 11 For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him. 15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father. 16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!"

This week, I also transferred to Haugesund, which is just south of Bergen, a 3 hr 15 min bus ride. Haugesund is a small, quaint town. Get ready Haugesund! Ready or not, here we come!
