Sunday June 9, 2013

Liliahna,

Today you gave your third talk in primary. It was our very last Sunday in the Valparaiso Ward in California and we were all so sad to be leaving. To hear you give this talk was a really fun way to say goodbye.  You were confident and beautiful as you stood in front of the microphone reading your talk. This talk was different than the others because you helped to write it! They asked us you to share a talk about getting baptized and this is what you helped us come up with:

"My name is Lili Lundeen and I'm 6 years old. When you are eight you can be baptized. When you get baptized you become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Even Jesus was baptized. He was baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. Last year my dad got to go to Israel and put his feet in the Jordan River. It made my dad happy to know he was baptized just like Jesus was.

When we get baptized, we make a special promise with Heavenly Father. We promise to keep the commandments and follow Jesus, and Heavenly Father promises us to forgive us for our sins. I want to be baptized when I turn 8. I want to follow Jesus's example because I  know he loves me.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

What a sweet testimony, thank you for sharing it with us Lili!
