A Humbling Experience


B'S BAPTISM!!! WOOOO!!!!! My goodness... it was such an awesome experience.. I wish I could tell you it all in detail now but I'll have to write it out.. but in a nutshell.. So first off he texted us the morning of his baptism and was like "How can I know I'm worthy to be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ... when he was so perfect and when I have been so far from perfect?" .. So we went to his house and shared a lesson with him.. and answered his question.. that really set the tone for the day.. Then we left to fill up the font.. And it's supposed to take 3 hours.. 3 hours comes.. and its so shallow... and his baptism was just in an hour... so we were freaking out.. then to make matters worse... the water was scolding hot!!... I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT!... The water is usually always always freezing.. but for some reason we couldn't get cold water... so we were like firemen.. frenzying around chucking buckets of cold water in hahaha... fast forward... we got it up to a reasonable level... and he was baptized! It was such an amazing experience... it definitely taught me a lot as well about the Holy Spirit of Promise.. Elder O baptised him at first.. and his pants had an air pocket and it came up... so they did it the second time and that's when it hit me... Not the first time.. because it wasn't performed properly... but the second time I had the strongest confirmation and burning in my bosom that it was performed properly and by correct priesthood authority! And I was then able to confirm him the following day.. and it was my first time.. I was nervous as.. in the circle my legs were shaking and stuff haha, but it was such a humbling experience... to give a human being.. the gift of the third member of the Godhead!.. The Holy Ghost!.. It was sooooo legit! And he already got interviewed for the priesthood so next week he's going to get that! WOOP WOOP! Good things happening in Coffs Harbour.
