What I learned

September 18, 2013 by D. Gardner Leave a Comment

I am not surprised it’s been 10 days from the last time I found some time to write.  I have been writing to Roman and I have been finding other things more important.

A couple of weeks ago I attended a discussion with the missionaries.  At one point a fellow asked the missionaries what they should be teaching.   Elder Smith, he is from the San Francisco area, he turned right to 3 Nephi Chapter 11 He said the best thing to do is to follow the example of Christ.  About verse 21 Jesus starts teaching by giving the power to baptize, then he tells them the only way to be saved is to be baptized.  So when the Savior of the world show up and starts teaching;   He starts out with “Be baptized.”  I think we all need to be so bold.  I am 43, I’ve spent most of my life studying the gospel and I am just now realizing that if I am going to follow the example of Jesus, I need start out with baptism as what to start teaching.
