I was able to talk to my primary kids about baptism today. I was reminded of my own baptism. I think I was baptized a lot out of expectation and culture. I did enjoy going to church. I prayed and tried to read my scriptures and do the right thing. Although I didn’t understand completely the covenants I made, or the need of my Savior, I did want to continue going to church and doing good things. That’s why I was baptized.

We had home teachers over and a family birthday party at night, and I am socially exhausted. I tend to tense up around people, especially ones I don’t know well, and it is good to finally be by myself and actually relax.
