"Now I say unto you, if this be the desire of your hearts, what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?
And now when the people had heard these words, they clapped their hands for joy, and exclaimed: This is the desire of our hearts" -Mosiah 18:10-11
On Saturday, August 7th, 2010 Sister Therea Weeks was baptized as the newest member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Craig, Colorado!! Elder Landon (Chase's companion) baptized her and Elder Wilson (Chase) gave a talk on baptism at her baptism! The next day, Sunday, Elder Wilson had the privilege of confirming her! What a special and solemn occasion!
Elder Wilson and his companion Elder Landon met Theresa and began teaching her. As they got to know her better, they discovered that she was the niece of a General Authority! Her uncle had been a member of the quorum of the seventy back in the 1950's and 1960's and had given her a copy of the Book of Mormon. What a wonderful experience they shared together.....the journey to BAPTISM:)
How happy they are for her! She has accepted and received the first "saving ordinance" of the gospel! and made her first "covenant" with our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ by being baptized. Congratulations Sister Weeks:)
What a blessing it is for Chase to be able to see some of the "fruits of his labors"!
