[Mom wrote about a baptismal service we attended on Saturday.] Baptisms are good. I like to watch them too. People here don't really see them as that important since they happen more often. It would be nice to get more people to watch the baptisms. It is good though. There is always a special feeling when people get baptised. It makes us missionaries the happiest people ever. I was thinking yesterday, since we had a baptism too, why missionaries like baptisms so much. It's not because we get more glory, or more baptisms under our belt. It is because we know without a doubt that the baptism is the right thing! It is the start to salvation. We know after the baptisms the people will feel the spirit testify to them that they made the right choice! Before, Satan tempts them so much, but afterwards they are sure! Sadly, we lose a lot of people before they can feel the surety. They are looking for it, but they just don't make it past the trial of faith.
