Above is the Church's Easter Initiative. (Yes I know I'm late...) Even though I'm late on sharing this, I encourage you all to watch the inspired video :) It is absolutely amazing!!
This past Sunday was Easter. What an important holiday. Something that I realized when I was a little older is that Easter isnt about easter eggs, candy and the Easter Bunny but instead, about Jesus Christ! About His life and His death. One thing Im grateful to know is, Christ didnt just die and atone for all of our sins, but He rose again. HE LIVES! He is the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings. He is Jesus Christ. And because of Him, because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ I can be forgiven for my mistakes and so can everyone else that accepts His Gospel.
So, we are baptizing a woman this weekend, and her daughters are members, they were baptized last year. They live in our area, but their real house is in another area and their dad lives there. We have never met him before, so we got permission to go to their house for his birthday to get to know him, etc. So yesterday, it rained sooo hard all day! Which is crazy because it's been hot everyday since I've been in this area. So we took a trike all the way to their house, it was the two of us, her daughters and the trike drivers family! Haha! So 8 people on this little trike, and the house is the farthest in the middle of nowhere that I have ever been! Haha! We had to go up mountains and because it was rainy and we had so many people in the trike, we couldn't get up the mountain, so we pushed the trike with people in it up two mountains! Once we were within walking distance, it was still raining so we walked down a landslide of mud to finally make it to the house. All of my clothes were wet with puddles in my shoes. But we got to meet the dad and he was really nice! But because the travel was so far we only got to spend like 30 minutes there. But is was a good visit.
I don't have a lot of time this week, but I'm happy to say that we have a baptism this coming weekend! :) And through my mission I'm grateful to see people grow and change because of the true, Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ!
