The Path
Baptism is a very important ordinance, especially since it is the first ordinance and the one that grants the gift of the Holy Ghost. It is awesome that the gift of the Holy Ghost is given just as a person enters into the path of discipleship. This wonderful gift, if used properly, will keep aContinue reading “The Path”

It’s been over 40 years since me and my siblings all got together without our families in tow.
