Erik’s Talk

Erik gave a talk on Baptism this past Sunday at church during Primary (our junior Sunday school).

Here he is with the pictures he used for his talk…baptism, confirmation, and taking the sacrament.

This is what his talk said:

When I am 8 years old I can be baptized. When we are baptized we enter the Church of Jesus Christ. We receive many blessings in the Church. Through repentance and baptism we are forgiven of our sins. Baptism is a commandment from Heavenly Father. When we are baptized we promise to keep the commandments. If we do this we can have the Holy Ghost to help us, and we can live with Heavenly Father and our families again someday. When we are confirmed we receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost can teach us what is true, and help us make good choices. The Holy Ghost gives us a warm happy feeling. Each time we take the sacrament, we can remember the promises we made when we were baptized. Each week we can repent again, and be forgiven again when we take the sacrament. If we keep trying to keep the commandments we will get better at it, and we can keep repenting when we make mistakes. I can't wait to be baptized when I am eight. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Good job Erik!
