Baptism

"We have an investigator named Wilson, who is by far the coolest person in all of Brazil. He is making such awesome progress and he really is a true convert to the gospel. It's so cool to see him progress and his baptism is scheduled for the 16th of July. Everyone circle the date on your calendars."

"Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins is an essential covenant to make with the Lord. Faith and repentance precede this ordinance. Confirmation and the gift of the Holy Ghost follow baptism. Acceptance of these first principles and ordinances may obtain for us a remission of our sins and assure our salvation. In the ordinance of the sacrament, we regularly renew this and other covenants, and by complying with our part of the covenant, we receive the Spirit of the Lord to be with us."
