Baptism day

Before this time in my life, spiritual things just didn't seem to phase me. I never felt much in the way of pondering a God in the universe or what a person named Jesus Christ had done for me. My two special elder missionaries were wonderful to teach me about these things, and it was all so new to me that I still had comprehension problems with it all. But one thing that did stand out to me, as I committed to be baptized, was that at my young age of 22, ALL I knew was that baptism in this LDS church was what I was suppose to do. I felt I was being pulled like a magnet into this unknown realm that felt warm and safe and secure. My baptism day was special and unforgettable to me. Comimg out of that cleansing water and entering the changing room, I began to sob. I didn't understand then, what was happening to me, but I do today. My Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ was confirming to me that day their love and acceptance of me..and that they were pleased with me for my decision..and I was clean, every wit, from my former sins. Little was I to know at that time what great and marvelous things still awaited me as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
