Hola a todos! This week was so spiritually lit. As I was preparing for Easter, I went around to the members of the Mogollon ward here in Payson Arizona and invited them to read 3rd Nephi 11, which talk sabout Christ finally coming to the Nephites in the America’s just after his Resurrection. This is one of my favorite stories of the Book of Mormon of all time because Christ teaches how to pray and how to perform the Sacrament ordinance and how to Baptize in His name.

President Nelson our Prophet has asked us to make Easter the Biggest holiday of the year by reading 3rd Nephi 11 each Easter. Yes we read Luke during the time of Christ’s birth, but I know if we include 3rd Nephi 11 during Easter that your testimony will be stronger than ever before.

On another note, 18 months has been a long time. I can’t believe that I have made it this far! It is amazing to have the chance to continue to feel God’s love each day and to learn to work and study hard.

Here is a favorite Easter scripture found in  John 20:15-17:

“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing Him to be the gardener, saith unto Him, Sir, if thou have borne Him hence, tell me where thou hast laid Him, and I will take Him away. 

Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. 

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.”

This scripture helps me remember the importance of Easter that Christ to rose from the dead to defeat death and that we are able to be forgiven each day from our mistakes because Christ loves us all so much, He gave his life.

I have enjoyed serving my mission and know that Jesus Christ lives and that one day when we see Him again, we will be able to share with Him all the things we accomplished while here on earth.

I love you all and hope you guys have a good week! ✌️ ❤️ 😎
