5: “Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord” (Matthew 3, Mark 1, Luke 3)

Think back to your baptism—who helped you prepare for that special day and who stood with you in the water? And even more importantly, why were you baptized and what covenants did you make? In this week’s lesson, we have the opportunity to remember this sacred ordinance by reflecting about the Savior's baptism. As we study Matthew 3, Mark 1, and Luke 3, we'll meet John the Baptist, who helped prepare the way for Christ's coming. We'll learn about how the Savior was baptized in the Jordan River. And we'll discover anew the beauty of Christ’s example of obedience and remember why we all follow Him into the water.

Missionary Moment: Smiles in Uganda

After a long week of work at my dental office in Modesto, California, it was time to pack for a whirlwind trip of unknown adventures to Uganda, Africa. With a bag full of dental tools and supplies in tow, I climbed aboard a plane which would launch us through 11 time zones in the next 30 hours into the heart of Africa to the country of Uganda (bordered by Kenya on the east and the Congo on the west). Uganda’s short life expectancy, lack of access to clean water and rate of respiratory illness, place it among the world’s most unhealthy nations. The first sign of encouragement was in Brussels, Belgium, where two young Dental Hygienists, Katie Cottrell and Alisha Cleaver, both from Utah (with their perfect smiles) made a grand entrance just minutes before the next flight left for East Africa.

I even remember him slipping me a personal check for $1,000 with these simple instructions: “Use this to help those who are in need in your quorum.” They were never to know where the money came from.
