Saturday we had two baptisms. Alexia and Stefano. It was amazing! Their family has changed so much. The first time we visited them they were a little stand offish and now we go and they are all smiling and laughing. They are reading the Book of Mormon personally and as a family.

They almost have all of their papers for marriage.,.. they are doing great. The great thing about it is that I didn't do any of this. The Savior has changed this family. The Spirit has helped them to change through the Atonement of Christ. The Book of Mormon has helped their testimonies be strenghtened.

I love this gospel. It is so true. We can live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Faith. Repentence. Baptism. Recieve the Holy Ghost. Endure to the End. We are living this cycle all the time and being born again and again. The Lord is so merciful and loving. But, we have to obey the commandments. Wickedness never was happiness.

To obey is true happiness. In Alma 36 we learn from Alma, that when we have thoughts or sins that are causing us pain and anguish we can think of the Atonement of Christ and be born again.
After we are baptized, we have the opportunity to be born again every Sunday. This sacred Sacrament allows us the opportunity to change and become better through Jesus Christ.
Moroni 10:32 Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace...

17And it came to pass that as I was thus racked with torment, while I was harrowed up by the memory of my many sins, behold, I remembered also to have heard my father prophesy unto the people concerning the coming of one Jesus Christ, a Son of God, to atone for the sins of the world.
18Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death .
19And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.
20And oh, what joy , and what marvelous light I did behold; yea, my soul was filled with joy as exceeding as was my pain!
21Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy.
22Yea, methought I saw, even as our father Lehi saw, God sitting upon his throne, surrounded with numberless concourses of angels, in the attitude of singing and praising their God; yea, and my soul did long to be there.
23But behold, my limbs did receive their strength again, and I stood upon my feet, and did manifest unto the people that I had been born of God.
24Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance ; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste; that they might also be born of God, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
25Yea, and now behold, O my son, the Lord doth give me exceedingly great joy in the fruit of my labors ;
26For because of the word which he has imparted unto me, behold, many have been born of God, and have tasted as I have tasted, and have seen eye to eye as I have seen; therefore they do know of these things of which I have spoken, as I do know; and the knowledge which I have is of God.
27 And I have been supported under trials and troubles of every kind, yea, and in all manner of afflictions; yea, God has delivered me from prison, and from bonds, and from death; yea, and I do put my trust in him, and he will still deliver me.

28And I know that he will raise me up at the last day, to dwell with him in glory ; yea, and I will praise him forever, for he has brought our fathers out of Egypt, and he has swallowed up the Egyptians in the Red Sea; and he led them by his power into the promised land; yea, and he has delivered...
29Yea, and he has also brought our fathers out of the land of Jerusalem; and he has also, by his everlasting power, delivered them out of bondage and captivity, from time to time even down to the present day; and I have always retained in remembrance their captivity; yea, and ye also ought to...
30But behold, my son, this is not all; for ye ought to know as I do know, that inasmuch as ye shall keep the commandments of God ye shall prosper in the land; and ye ought to know also, that inasmuch as ye will not keep the commandments of God ye shall be cut off from his presence. Now this is according to his word.

I know that the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know that as we obey the commandments we taste the goodness and happiness of the Gospel. I also know that Christ is our Redeemer and it is only through Him that we can return to live with our Heavenly Father, if we are obedient to ALL of the Commandments.
1 nephi 10:21. Wherefore, if ye have sought to do wickedly in the days of your probation , then ye are found unclean before the judgment-seat of God; and no unclean thing can dwell with God; wherefore, ye must be cast off forever.
I love you all! Thanks for your love and support!
Love,
Hermana Bott
