Was Baptized Yesterday Evening
Posted On 03/30/2009 05:04:26 by TurkeyRun

I was baptized yesterday evening.  I feel wonderful!

I wasn't sure what to expect as far as my reaction.  I really don't have the words to describe the experience.  

Here is an excerpt from the testimony I gave:

--

During my life, I have put myself in some very dangerous positions.  I know that there is a God in heaven who loves me, as I would not be here today if left to my own devices. I know that all men and women, temporarily here in on the Earth, came from this loving Heavenly Father and that one day we will return.  This is knowledge that I have had since I was a child, but could find no Christian organization that would acknowledge or explain our pre-mortal existence on the other side of the veil. 

 

I know that Jesus is the Christ.  Since my childhood the Holy Ghost has made known this to me, and despite my complicating things, this is supported through historical, archeological, and scholarly works from people both inside and outside of the LDS Church. 

 

I now know that the LDS church is the restoration of the church Jesus Christ originally intended and set up 2000 years ago and led by living prophets.  I know God lives, and I know he continues to accomplish great and marvelous things through men and women that are willing to listen with their hearts, and do with their hands.

 

I know my spiritual wandering has ended and my spiritual journey is beginning.

 

I leave you with this in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

I randomly looked you up and WOW, congratulations! I'm happily astounded! I'm thrilled, I'm.....speechless! I haven't been on all that much and that was such a great lunchtime (for me) surprise! How is the family taking it? The journey as just begun, TurkeyRun. It's just begun! Hang on and hang in there!

WOW! What a life changing three months you have had. I haven’t been around very much and so it was with great happiness that I read your latest blog entry. I also read all of the other entries just to catch up. What an amazing story and sweet testimony you have. This was the best thing I have read on a Monday for months on end, truly, your entry moved me to tears!


 


Just remember what my response was to you on your first post here when you asked about what to wear to church and your concern about your long hair, beard and Harley…


 


(Just in case you already forgot….When my brother-in-law decided to go to church, he only had work jeans and leather biker pants, and he and my sister agreed that the leather pants looked better, so he showed up in his leathers, with his long hair in a ponytail. (He left the Harley at home that first time too!) He said he got a few looks, but more than that, he got a lot of people introducing themselves and welcoming him because it was obvious he was new. A couple of years later, he got a calling to serve in the Bishopric, as a councilor to the Bishop, and the Bishop reminded him of how much of an impression my brother-in-law made his first day! Today my brother-in-law serves on the High Council, so beware of what can happen to an innocent man going to church in leather with a ponytail! )


 


LOL! No pressure! J 


 


All kidding aside, welcome to the gospel Brother TurkeyRun!!!!
