Mosiah 18:10

I like Alma's simple way of explaining why someone would want to get baptized.  In Mosiah 18:10, he asks his followers:
"...what have you against being baptized in the name of the Lord, as a witness before him that ye have entered into a covenant with him, that ye will serve him and keep his commandments, that he may pour out his Spirit more abundantly upon you?"
It says his followers actually clapped their hands with joy and proclaimed their desire to be baptized.

I like their enthusiasm.  I hope I can have some of that as I renew my baptismal covenant each week by taking the sacrament.
