Why I Am Getting Baptized

Hi!I just wanted to tell you my feeling's about baptism. I KNOW I am a  child of  god. and so are all of you. I got baptized because I know all my sins get ALL washed away. this is because Jesus paid  for all my sins. I joined the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints because I knew it was a true church. I felt that because when I was reading the scriptures I felt good inside. there is one scripture I really like, it is in 3 Nephi 11:33-38 (in the Book of Mormon), "And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God...And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God."

It was hard for me to choose who would baptize me. I had always planned on Daylon doing it, but then he went on a mission. So I had to choose between my brother Trevin and my dad. It was hard, but Daylon sent me an email that the Spirit would help me and that I should pray about it. And so I went into my room and I prayed. And the Spirit helped me decide - Trevin.
