Aracy got baptized on Saturday! I was able to perform the Baptism and my companion Elder Kaiser confirmed her and gave her the Gift of the Holy Ghost! The whole thing was a spiritual experience. This was one of my favorite scriptures that we shared with her. Acts 2:38, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
We also started teaching a Venezuelan family this week. They are all very nice and very smart. They have lived here in the U.S. for 3 years, and it's the father and the mother, a 13 year old son, and a 10 year old daughter. We showed them this video and they really enjoyed it.
Today I just wanted to share two scriptures that have really hit my this week. I think u might have already shared them in the past.
1 Nephi 19:9, "And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men."
2 Nephi 9:7,21 "7 Wherefore, it must needs be an infinite atonement... 21 And he cometh into the world that he may save all men if they will hearken unto his voice; for behold, he suffereth the pains of all men, yea, the pains of every living creature, both men, women, and children, who belong to the family of Adam."
I've just been feeling very grateful for the Atonement and sacrifice that my savior did for me. I hope you like these verses because they helped me a lot!
Elder Edholm
