This is Sister Aritou's son, Kento and her daughter, Iru after their baptism! So wonderful to baptize a family!November 21, 2010
Hello everyone!
Wow! That is a lot of snow in Twin Falls! It hasn`t snowed here yet. How is Bryse? Can he still talk fine? And does Randy have cancer? I thought I would ask you guys those questions first before I forgot. Dad, I liked your story about your mission. Japanese people really don`t hug. They are kinda awkward with stuff like that but that doesn`t stop me. I also like giving my brothers a little love. I need to do it more though. Thanks. I`ve also been thinking of blessings lately and we are really blessed. I never really got nervous when we didn`t have an income. Thinking back it would be natural to worry. I think one blessing that I have realized is being relieved without even knowing it. Being positive is a blessing I think. Olivia, thanks for the email. It is pretty special what you`re experiencing right now. I am proud of you for being a good example. I wrote her last week so it should get there pretty soon. Well guys, this week was pretty special. Yesterday was Sister Aritou`s son Kento and one of her daughters Iru`s baptism. I wish you guys could of seen Sister Aritou. She was so happy and of course her kids were too. I really can`t express the joy I am feeling right now. A family baptism and a single baptism are both way special but seeing a family get baptized is pretty cool. Sister Aritou`s 15 year old daughter, Ruka, is getting baptized on December 5! She didn`t have interest at first but when she heard her mom, brother, and sister talking about going to the temple together she felt something. She wants to go to the temple too so she is showing her faith by getting baptized. We are starting teaching her tonight. Yesterday my testimony of the priesthood was strengthened. When Kento received the Holy Ghost he was blessed to share the gospel as a missionary. I know that this was a true blessing and it will happen. Little Iru`s blessing was really special too. She was also blessed to go on a mission and then the priesthood holder giving the blessing blessed her to get married in the temple and have an eternal family. I know that this priesthood holder was worthy for the spirit and his words were Gods`. I am so thankful for the priesthood and how real it is. I wish I would have focused more when I was receiving a blessing. I am sorry I have written so much but I am really feeling the joy of the gospel. An eternal family is the only way to go and I know that getting married in the temple is important. These recent experiences on my mission have really strengthened my testimony of the Gospel, particularly families. I know that we are an eternal family. I also know that there are tons of families waiting to hear the gospel because about 2 months ago God used me, a young 20 year old boy, to share the gospel with some of his precious children, our brothers and sisters. The Gospel is true and I love you all. Have a great week and look out for our brothers and sisters ready to hear the gospel. I know they are there. God bless
