Today was a super busy, but super awesome day!
This afternoon I was able to go to a friends baptism. She's been taking lessons from the missionaries for a few months and has been looking forward to being baptized ever since she first met them. I have loved being able to go to some of the lessons with her and I've loved getting to know her better. She is truly an amazing person who loves the Lord and wants to be obedient. I love her!
There was such a great spirit at her baptism! I loved learning more about the covenants we make with the Lord when we are baptized and the promises he makes to us that are found in Mosiah chapter 18.
What a special thing it is to be baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and to promise the Lord that we will keep His commandments and take upon us the name of Jesus Christ and to be promised that if we do those things we will have eternal joy and happiness. I'm grateful for my own baptism and I'm so grateful that, today, I was able to be a part of my friends baptism.
After the baptism I got to head to a Stake Relief Society service project, dinner, and broadcast night. There were so many opportunities to serve: sorting new blankets and clothes for children's shelters here in Indianapolis, sorting used clothes for the homeless shelters, making baby bracelets for the hospital to give to still-born babies, and making and writing cards to the missionaries.
Afterward we had a yummy dinner together and listened to uplifting messages from our Stake Leaders and then we were able to watch the General Relief Society Meeting that was broadcast from Salt Lake City, UT.
I'm so grateful to be apart of the organization of Relief Society that has the power to do so much good for the people around them.
It was such a good uplifting day and night!
And I'm really, really, really grateful to my sweet husband for taking care of our kids all day so I was able to attend all those meetings. He must really love me :)
