My first baptism! Oscar Barra
So all I have to say is I forgot how much I love to hate those P.M.S. cruisers, or whatever they are called.That is a great photo, you have no idea how much I miss the rain, if you could, send me some in a zip lock baggy, but it has to be raining in the bag so when I open it, it will rain and rain on us. Oh yeah speaking of water, the water in the baptismal font felt real real real good on Saturday. I am trying to think if I have ever had a happier experience in my life and I cant think of anything. Oscar Manuel Barra Lagos is now able to enter into the Lords kingdom if he keeps Enduring to the End. I had the opportunity, the honor and the privilege of baptizing him, and it was such an amazing experience. I can`t describe the felicidad that I feel right now, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! Oscar just kept thanking me, he bore his testimony and said only Elder Jackson will ever know the great change of heart I had. I know this church is true thanks to my eternal brother and friend Elder Jackson, yeah I cried, I`m not gonna lie. Sunday he was confirmed a member of the true church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and recieved the Holy Ghost. Then we confired upon him the Aaronic priesthood in the office of Priest. So next week he will be blessing the sacrament. I will be content if Oscar is the only baptism I have the opportunity to be a part of because he will forever be a firm member. But I am going to keep going strong so we can bring eternal happiness to other families. His next goal is baptizing his daughter who has 5 years, and also going to the Temple with his wife. Wow huh!!!! The Lord is blessing us so much right now, Alejandro will be baptized this week on Saturday, the 31st. So I am excited for that. We have a Noche de Hogar (FHE) with his family tonight, so maybe we will be able to convert the whole family, that is his desire. So yeah, the gates of heaven have literally been opened on this sector in Arica, Chile and I have the opportunity to be an angel. Family I love you all so much and thank you all for your prayers. The work of the Lord is moving, really fast and will keep going on. Have a great week and you are all in my prayers. Elder McKay Bryan Jackson(Bigmac, mickey bry) The First
