Merry Christmas, Baptism New Year!

Christmas was enchanting. The greatest part about missionary work that we are actually secretly celebrating Christmas every day, you know because our work is centered on Christ.

Arthur baptized

Arthur has finally gotten baptized! He is a spiritual giant already! I am so grateful to have witnessed him exercise his faith by entering into the covenant of baptism. I've been rooting for him since our first meeting when he asked lots of extremely difficult questions. Since then, we've had the opportunity to drill faith into his brain, so to see him using a concept we helped to teach has been a joy. I think I am finally understanding exactly what the great missionary Ammon was saying in the Book of Mormon when he shared in Alma 26:11-12:

"I do not boast in my own strength, nor in my own wisdom; but behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God.
"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."

Happy New Year! May everyone be blessed with good bowels and happiness.

Love,
Sister Smith
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year!
