"The Last Dance"

  Well, it's a bitter sweet moment. I'm writing to you all from a hotel room. Tomorrow we fly to Manila. Wednesday I fly home. I'm at a loss of words. I don't believe I could adequately express my emotions or feelings. I am filled with peace. Which I didn't expect. I've known nothing but one thing for the past 2 years. I had a purpose to fulfill. That purpose was to invite others to come unto Christ. I have come to understand more deeply what that truly means. With understanding comes a responsibility to act upon those things understood. I now understand that nothing changes when I take off this tag. I'm here on earth to hold up my light. To draw others to His light. I love my Redeemer. He saved my soul. I owe everything to him. I'm ready to go where he wants me to go. 

    I love my mission. It's meant so much to me. I hope you'll give me the chance to tell you about it someday. I'm the happiest I've ever been. It's amazing. I know this is not the end of this joy. 

 Scriptural thought

John 14:27

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Elder Baker

Peace

A Short One

Hey everyone!! Today's been a bit busy so I'm just going to give a little spiritual thought. Spiritual Thought  Helaman 14:31   31 He hath given unto you that ye might know good from evil, and he hath given unto you that ye might choose life or death; and ye can do good and be restored unto that which is good, or have that which is good restored unto you; or ye can do evil, and have that which is evil restored unto you.    I testify of the joy of daily restoration. Through repentance and the atonement of Jesus Christ, we can all choose to have the good restored unto us. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know He loves me. And I know He loves each and every one of you. I love all of you! Peace Elder  Baker

Thanks to your guys's prayers, i'm back to normal! Buuuut even though I'm all good again, don't hesitate to send me an email if your heart so desires. I love reading them no matter the content hahaha the more random, the better the laugh I get. So feel free!! Anyways, my past week was great but very fullll! Lets get into it!     Tuesday we had Zone Conference which was 2 hours away. We had to wake up at 5 in the morning and ride in a jeepny. I was still somewhat sick on tuesday so that ride killed me. At Zone Con I actually felt pretty decent, which was a tender mercy 100%. We got a ride home from the APs which was so fun. They are a wild couple o' Elders haha. But I do look up to them a ton. They are studs.      Wednesday was so awesome. We were applying some of the things we l...
