Forever Strong in the Work: Jesus Got Baptized!! (Jesus Garcia)‏

(A/N: Hello there everyone! So Hermana Ramos-Escobar actually didn't have time to write an email yesterday and she says she's sorry about that. But I thought that it would be ok to share some things she wrote to me with you guys. :) She had a conference this last Saturday where Elder M. Russell Ballard came and spoke. She got to shake his hand and said that "it was very soft." Ha ha! What a cutie huh? :D Anyways, here's a little snippet of what she wrote to me. Enjoy!)

Jesus got baptized!! It was the best!! It was soo good to see him so happy after the baptism! It was the best!!

Aly, I love being a missionary. I really have never been happier in my life! I have found so much joy from growing a stronger relationship with my Heavenly Father. I love Him so much. I love Jesus Christ so much. On Saturday, Elder Ballard was telling us that we need to visit the Garden of Gethsemane...We need to remember all that Jesus Christ did for us. There are no words to describe how much I love my Savior.

I finished that book that I was telling you about. The "Believing Christ" and it was talking about how Jesus Christ was tempted. He had to be tempted or else He wouldn't have been able to lead us by example...But even though He didn't fall for the temptation, He felt the guilt of EVERY single sin. Because of us. He had to go through that. Did you know that "Geth" in Hebrews means "Press" and "Semane" means...shoot, something else I forgot...But it relates to olives and grapes...When you press olives and grapes, the juice comes out from every pore. There is no coincidence that Jesus Christ suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane...that He as well bled from every pore...

I know that my Savior lives. I know that He loves me. He loves you. I know He knows exactly what you're going through. I love you so much Aly...But imagine how much your Savior loves YOU!
Stay strong always!

Love, always and forever,

Hermana Ramos-Escobar
