Tonight my heart is so full. Full of so much love and joy and I am so overcome with tears. After two years of having this nagging feeling that someone I love has died and has not been baptized.
I am so grateful to Heavenly Father to know with all my heart that things will always work out. It came to my attention tonight that Leander infact had been baptized long ago. And how this whole faith is logical, and that there is so much reassurance that how can this not be true?
Tonight, I feel so grateful for baptism. To know that we all have the opportunity to be baptized here on this earth. To know- that it will , without a doubt, be carried with us into the next life.
I feel so blessed to know at this very moment how important that first step toward the church is in our life. And for some is still yet to come. It can change your whole life and your existence in the future. None of us ever know when our time will come. For some it comes much too young. But with the first and most important step of baptism by the strong power of God at hand, all is possible for each of us. And I am so happy and relieved tonight that my dear friend could pass from this life and not be missing the most imporant part of the reason we're all here. He accomplished one of the many things we were all sent down as spirits to do. We all chose this. I think we take just being baptized into this church for granted sometimes.
I know that I am at this point in my life so that I can help Leander. I feel so much pride in the choices that I have made thus far in my life that I will be able to give Leander's spirit the choice in Heaven as a proxy here on earth. My sweet husband and I will finish his work. And looking at it that way...living my life right suddenly makes it all worth it.
