Otho's Talk for the Primary Program 2010

I CAN FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST'S EXAMPLE

When Jesus Christ was alive, he went to John the Baptist to be baptized. Even though Jesus was perfect, he needed to be baptized.

In Matthew, chapter 3, verse 15 he said, “Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.” Jesus was baptized to show us a righteous example.

Last month, I was baptized. I was baptized to wash away my sins, to make a promise, and so I could be like Jesus.

I made promises to take Jesus name upon me. That means I need to try and be like Jesus and go to church, pay my tithing, and do service.

I also made a promise to always remember Jesus. That means that I need to remember to read my scriptures and say my prayers every day.

When I was baptized I also promised to keep the commandments. When I try to follow Jesus Christ's example, I am given the Holy Ghost to help me choose the right.

After I was baptized I felt so good. I felt the Holy Ghost in my life. And I knew that I always wanted to follow Jesus Christ's example so that I can be happy and return to heaven.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

I just wanted to point out that when Otho shared his testimony about baptism at the end of this talk, he was overcome with the Holy Ghost and became emotional. This was a defining moment for him on the power of a testimony.
