Ubber Excited: Baptism

We were ubber excited at the beginning of this week because we had planned 2 baptisms for the Saturday however, we finished the week just being excited!

Mdm Tomescu was baptized! It was an amazing service with the spirit very strong. Giocchino we are hoping that if his heart can keep pumping will be baptized this coming Saturday. He has been on some crazy heavy medication because of his heart attack and so he didn't make it to his baptism Saturday with mdm Tomescu nor church yesterday. However, it will be great to spread the baptismal services out that way we can have more people see what it means to follow Jesus Christ and his example.

A true baptism, meaning a baptism which is valid in the eyes of God, consists of 3 things:
1 Someone must use their agency to choose to be baptized.
2 One must follow Jesus Christ's baptism of being fully submerged in water as a symbol of a new birth.

3 One must be baptized by someone who has received the power and authority of God meaning the priesthood.

President and Soeur Carter gave their farewell talks to us last week. Tomorrow we meet our new mission president, President Murdock. It was a very emotion time for everyone it made me scared to go home. Just thinking about going home scares me!
MARRIAGE o golly.
Love you all!

Elder Garlock

P.S. I am ever so grateful for packages and letters! Words do not do justice, honestly those are the highlights of the week!!!!
