Baptisms!

These three young ladies decided to get baptized. 

Congratulations to Sanjeewani, Sheela and Saranac!

Elder Karunarathne, Elder Luke, Sister Luke, Elder Jaysinghe and Branch President Kumara.

I shared this talk with them today without the picture. 

"I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain. And ponder on the beauty of an eath made clean again.

I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain. I want to be the best I can and live with God again.

I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away. And I I can be forgiven and impfove myself each day. 

I want my live to be as clean as earth right after rain. I want to be the best I can and live with God again." Song title: When I am Baptized

 

Promises We Make:

RED- Take upon ourselves the Name of Jesus Christ

I glued on a heart with Jesus Christ's name inside the heart

ORANGE- Always remember Him

An orange cone signifies awareness which correlates with always remembering

YELLOW- Keep His commandments

A miniature image of golden plates reminds of us His commandments

GREEN- Serve Him to the end

A green stop light tells us to Go, Go, Go...don't stop.  In other words, serve Him to the end!

Blessings:

BLUE- If we repent we will be forgiven

Water represents cleansing

PURPLE- Receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost

Purple gift symbolizes receiving a gift

CLOUDS- Always have His Spirit to be with you

SUPER COOL CONCLUSION:

Pure white light is made out of all the colors of the rainbow.  When you get baptized you make promises and in return you are promised blessings.  When combined these steps purify and prepare you to return to your Heavenly Father.

What a wonderful Sabbath!
