Salvation was Never a Cheap Experience - Week 36

I have been thinking so much about Salvation lately on the mission and I realized that if we didn't need to have works and try our best salvation wouldn't mean a thing.  Its like a car.  You would care much more for your car or whatever possession you have if you worked to get it.  If it is just given it doesn't mean anything.  Although we can't be saved without the Atonement of Jesus Christ we need to put in our own work so that one day we can all live together with our Father!  There is nothing of value that comes without working!  I know that is true!  May we all work and endure to the end and be with our families forever! 

José did get baptized and confirmed finally!!  It was a beautiful baptism and the spirit was very strong.  The thing is he makes pizza dough or pre pizza for the shops here and he got 20 orders of 12 that day which is a ton of work and wanted to move the baptism.  We knew that the baptism was more important and managed to talk him into the baptism.  Well, he came and we performed the baptism!  I have never seen him so happy and then he ended up getting all 20 of the orders out that night at about 3 in the morning but he did it!!  What a blessing it is to follow the Lord and how he will bless us if we do!
