When we are baptized...

"When we are baptized, we 'take upon [us] the name of Christ' and enter 'into the covenant with God that [we will] be obedient unto the end of [our] lives.'7 Each Sunday we renew that baptismal covenant by partaking of the sacrament and witnessing that we are willing to keep the commandments. We seek forgiveness for any thoughts, feelings, or actions that are not in harmony with our Heavenly Father’s will. As we repent by turning away from disobedience and by beginning to obey again, we show our love for Him." ~ By Robert D. Hales

"The greatest of all the blessings of God, eternal life, will come to us only as we make covenants offered in the true Church of Jesus Christ by His authorized servants. Because of the Fall, we all need the cleansing effects of baptism and the laying on of hands to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. With the help of the Light of Christ and the Holy Ghost, we can keep all the covenants we make with God, especially those offered in His temples. Only in that way, and with that help, can anyone claim his or her rightful inheritance as a child of God in a family forever." ~ President Eyring

And he's off!!!

On July 9, 2014 Elder Daniel Nelson entered the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, UT.  His mom, dad, sister Diana and brother in law Jake were able to take him there and see him off!! 

While in the MTC, Dan wrote the following:

"...  Having a blast, everyone is so cool.  My comp is Elder Pottel... he's awesome!!! We are zone leaders and are slaying it!!! Anyways love you.  Can't wait to call you on Monday before we get on the plane!!"

Just before leaving the MTC, Dan and his companion were introduced in Sacrament as the zone leaders for the 24 missionaries going to Charlotte!  Pretty awesome! 

This morning at 5:30am he called his parents while at the airport ready to fly to NC!  He said that he felt well trained and excited and eager to get out into the mission field!  He sounded healthy and happy so we are looking forward to getting his first letter from the field!

Go get 'em Elder Nelson!!
