A message today from Israel after he and his family were baptized. Jenna and I felt pure JOY getting this message from someone our daughter has been teaching in Brazil. She loves this family and desired to see them enter the waters of baptism, turning their hearts, minds, and lives to the Savior. “And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father! And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!” (Doctrine and Covenants 18:15-16) I can’t express how great my joy is in witnessing my child bringing others unto Christ. My joy is full to overflowing. This is the gospel of JOY! This is #howWEconquer #calledtoserve #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints
