An invitation to all.....

This week we attended a Baptism Extravaganza that President Tervort planned. We rented a small bus and headed with about 12 Elders and the investigators to the Visitor’s Center. After we had a tour and watched a quick movie we made it back to the church and 4 wards in the zone baptized 8 people - we had 2. President Tervort talked and the spirit was just beautiful. There was awesome support from the wards (over 100 people came, 18 or so were investigating). The stake President and leaders were so happy, and I was just as happy. There is nothing sweeter that seeing people change their lives and accept a start to a new life. A life in which one can find true happiness, happiness that lasts much more than this life, happiness in a family that is almost impossible to fathom. I have experienced and have seen the joy that comes from living this gospel and changing every day to be better one. There is no other way to find true peace or happiness. We do have a loving Heavenly Father; Jesus is the Christ, the Son of that loving Father. Christ suffered for us all and then gave His life that we might live. Through His Atonement we can find peace and happiness, we can be strengthened, and in the end, we can obtain an eternal happiness that is not found anywhere else. I love this gospel, which is in Christ, the way, the light, the first and the last, our Savior and Redeemer. This is my testimony and nothing can shake me from it. I know it is true, and it is an invitation to all to know and experience the same joy I have found.
