Wonder of Wonders, Miracles of Miracles

I apologize in advance. I had written a beautiful email and then the internet shut down and it didn't save so this is a summary of what I had written.

This title is both referring to the wonderful baptism we had this week as well as the moment I had to partake of a magical liquid called Spruce Beer. As far as the latter goes. Spruce Beer. Heaven. Canada squished a spruce tree into a drinking bottle. It smells like Christmas. It tastes like Christmas. It is Christmas. And it is amazingly beautiful. Attached is my tribute to Spruce beer.*

*The described is in accordance with the word of wisdom being a drink in the form of a soft drink

Well besides that we saw a wonderful miracle this week. Our friend Martin got baptized! There was a happiness that filled the room! So large that I finally realized the truth in the statement a good friend of mine once shared, I couldn't help but write my feelings. They came out in the form of a small poem. Now I am no poet but I thought I would give it try because it seemed there was no other way to explain the happiness I was feeling. It goes like this

He enters in, regains his seat

Hair still dripping from his choice

The beloved baptism here been made

each drip doth hold a voice

Silently it fills the air

saying what heaven once released

In the heated plains of ancient time

this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

What a wonderful world to be living in, where we have the restored gospel and with it the ability to baptize with the authority of God. That happiness that I felt in that baptismal room I know was the spirit whispering that God had accepted this wonderful choice that Martin had made. While conducting the closing hymn I could see I was not the only one who was crying. The spirit was so strong. It told me once again of the love that God has for his children. I know that this church is true and that it is the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful that I am out here on my mission to share this wonderful truth with all the world.

Thank you so much for all the prayers that you send my way. I feel the peace and love almost daily. Thank you so much. I love you all.
