Joseph Smith got Baptized

It's been another great week out here in Raleigh North Carolina! Getting Joseph Smith in the font this week was wild. 

His phone went dead at the start of the week and we couldn't get ahold of him for a couple days.... so we did the only logical thing and went to his work

 He works at a huge corporate office so we had to go and bribe the security guard to let us know which door he would come out. After an hour and half we tracked the man down and told him to meet us at Burger King. It all worked out and Joseph Smith got baptized on Saturday but he won't be confirmed until next Sunday.

We had a lady named Mattie come to church with us Yesterday so that was pretty awesome! 

We were teaching a guy this week and we taught him about the Atonement and how we can only get to Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ. We got done bearing our testimonies and he said," is jesus a computer or somethan, he pretty smart, right?" Hahah it was so random, that has been our joke all week

We got to go to the temple with a recent convert, Keith, to do baptisms. That was a pretty cool experience. 

This week I was reading in 1 Nephi 13. 

Verse 32 says..

32 Neither will the Lord God suffer that the Gentiles shall forever remain in that awful state of blindness, which thou beholdest they are in, because of the plain and most precious parts of the gospel of the Lamb which have been kept back by that abominable church, whose formation thou hast seen

After Christ was crucified the fulness of his Gospel was lost and the world was left in darkness and confusion. But God loves his children and he wouldn't leave us in the darkness forever. I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth today in its fulness. 

Love yall
