Today I became a new person.  I met with my minister, studied over the scripture, and decided to be baptized for the remission of my sins.  I am so excited to enter this new life with my savior and Lord, Jesus Christ!  I have posted a painting depicting the baptism of the Eunuch from the Bible.  In some ways, this particular story helped me to come to the decision to approach the subject of baptism with my minister.  Just like the Eunuch, I felt there was truly nothing that should stop me from receiving redemption and salvation from my Lord Jesus Christ by obeying the gospel and being baptized.  I am proud to say that just like Eunuch, I immediately chose to be baptized and became a Christian today.
