I saw my first baptism today. It was grand. The shimais [sisters] name was Akiko Matsuda. I got to participate in her lessons a little, but obviously I didnt say too much. It was a really special moment and I felt the spirit very strongly. As my [patriarchal] blessing says , seeing baptisms will be something on which I can base my testimony for the rest of my life by seeing the joy the gospel brings to others. And this young lady was very happy. It certainly does change lives. Her mom has even committed to baptism for next Sunday. This is a great work & I am loving it!
