This week has been amazing! We have been sharing an Easter video
with everyone that I want you to watch first!
here it is:

So it is finally turning into spring and it has been so warm and
its been raining as well so everything smells fresh and new and there are
flowers popping up out of everywhere and there are buds on the trees and birds
of every sound are all chirping their lungs out because they are so happy
winter is done with. (That's how I feel on the inside as well). Yesterday was
just beautiful and I was just to happy to be alive! And I'm happy I live in a
time where we have all of our Heavenly Fathers plain and precious truths.
Our mission President is having us write a 10 minute lesson on
the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ to help us simplify and intensify
the way we teach. You really have to think about what you are going to say
because what the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ contains is so
infinately important. One of those subjects being the Atonement of Jesus
Christ. As I spent the week pondering over what 3 sentences I could say that
would explain the true spirit of the Atonement I came to appreciate and apply
more to what that meant for me.
We shared the easter video with everyone we could. walking down
streets where people sat on the steps of their porch, we sat with them and they
watched on their phone as we stood and listened to the music and felt the peace
and joy of the Holy Ghost as it testified that it was true. To sitting with a
mother and her son who was mentally ill silently and intently listen to the
melody and feel the gentle assurance that we have eternal life and eternal
families because of Him.
Driving back down the street I looked
up at the beautiful sunset as the day was coming to it's end and I had the
words of Dieter F. Uchtdorf running through my head "there are no endings.
only eternal beginnings. we are made of the stuff of eternity." And I just
felt happy. That is what the gospel of Jesus Christ does for us, that is what
the Atonement does for us. It reveals to us the plain and precious truths that
we can live forever in the happiness we are destined to inherit. For we are to
inherit all that the Father hath, which is eternal and lasting peace and
happiness.
I know that Jesus Christ died for us so
that we can overcome the demands of justice and bring to pass our immortality
and eternal life of all man. Every soul has been saved from the bands of both
physical and spiritual death and we now have the opportunity to learn and grow
and to have joy. Because of him.
We can show our gratitude simply by doing the only thing he's
asked us to do. Follow him.
For in that is where we find true
happiness.
If there is something in your life not
according to what Jesus has asked. Change it and find peace. I can promise you
that you will. Life is a hard journey and we all must taste of the bitterness
of rejecting the gospel of Jesus Christ when we sin, but then we have the
sweetness of repentance, to renew our lives and to live again. Through him we
have hope!
Happy Easter! Happy Spring!
LIVE AND BE HAPPY!
Love you all!
Love,
