Hi people. Not high people. It's more like, "greetings people". Any how,this week is going to be great. Brett Spaid is going to get baptized this Saturday!!!!!!!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-hooooooooooooo!!!! At first in my mission I didn't want to focus on baptisms because I thought people would see that as we just want more people in to our church. I just didn't understand what baptism really is. Though part of it is coming into the church, what it really is is the gateway into the Celestial Kingdom. It is the ONLY way back to God. This is what we are offering-Eternal Life-and everyone needs it. It is essential.

Well, I love my mission. The Elders I am with are so amazing. I am growing tons. My confidence is growing too. I love you guys and I liked the postcard too. I hope all is well. Keep me updated on every thing. Tell Dan hi and that I love him. Well good bye and keep up the Lord's work.
Love Elder Jared Hurst

Hey
It's so good to hear that you are having awesome experiences with the YM and YW program. I loved it too. We had so many great times and they were usually spiritual. I honestly don't think i would be on my mission if I hadn't had the mutual in my life. Tell everyone hi for me.
This Saturday we have my first real baptism. Brett Spaid is going to get baptized at 2:30. I'm so excited I just can't hide it . We have a couple more for the end of September too. I love this church and the Book of Mormon and they are so true. One of the Elders put it just right, "Mormonism is Christianity magnified." He also said, "I am Mormon through and through and I love it!" His name is Elder Hansen and he is one of my roommates. He goes home at the end of September, but he has had an awesome mission he was AP and every thing.

Love ya

Love,

Elder Jared Hurst.
