I hope you all had a fabulous Easter! I sure
did! We had an amazing Sacrament meeting focused on Jesus Christ. We
actually had two high council men speak which was interesting. But
overall it was a good Easter. We went and tried to watch the Because of
Him video with whoever would watch it with us yesterday. It was so
powerful! I can't tell you how many times i have watched it, but i could
still sit and watch it again and again if necessary! I love our Savior
Jesus Christ and can't quite possibly picture my life without him!
Mom, to answer your question, no I don't think I
will be in Quincy long term. In fact, we have transfers this week and I
am actually headed up to Chelan, Washington. It will be my first time in
and part of the mission that isn't in the desert and the only thing
people keep telling me is that it is so pretty there!! And from what I
hear good hiking.. I hope my new companion likes to hike :) Speaking of
which. My new companion is Hermana Jett from New Jersey. I have meet her
before and served around her, but i don't know her super well. I am
excited to be off on my new adventure and to be using my Spanish again!
This week went pretty well we had a hard time
getting a hold of people. But to me, that is just part of misisonary
work right? Some weeks are better than others. But in every week there
are highlights of the Miracles. This week we were eating dinner with a
family that hasn't been to church in a long time and where the wife
isn't a member of the church. We have spoke with them on a few
occasions. Her and I get along really well. Well after dinner we were
talking about knowledge in Preach my Gospel (Christ-like attributes is
one of my favorite chapters) and it led into a discussion on the word
Agency. I had never thought of that being on of the words that we as
members of the church use rather than other people, but we talked about
being agents and the point of Agency and then i told her we would study
it more and come back. As well with Easter Bro. Barrow wanted to know
more about the Garden of Gethsemane. Man they both really gave my brain a
work out!
It is amazing as i have been reading the Book of
Mormon I have been getting excited for the parts coming up. Then i
realized i know the scriptures well enough to know what is coming up in
the future! It was really cool for me to see that personal growth!
We had people come to church for Easter Sunday
which made my day! Especially since Sacrament was all about the Savior
and the Doctrine of Christ and all that he does for us! And many of the
scriptures were out of the Book of Mormon and how the Book of Mormon
testifies of our Savior Jesus Christ! it was super awesome. I love being
in church and getting to hear others testimonies. Hearing the
testimonies of others is one of the best sources of a testimony.
Yesterday i took a deeper look into the Saviors last
days and his glorious Resurrection in "Jesus the Christ". Seeing as the
book is really long i focused on the few sections in the Garden, on the
cross, and the Ressurection. But all that led me onto other topics and
other paths and i learned and grew so much in the love of my Savior
yesterday. That is the most interesting part of holidays on your
mission. you see them in a whole new light. You remember why they are
special. They become very personal. Well after learning so much of my
Savior i ended up in the book of Matthew. Chapter 16 verses 15-16.
"15 He saith unto them, But wh
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
My testimony is that. When i see him I can Say
thou art the Christ, son of the Living God! And i want everyone to know
that. If you haven't gotten a chance to see the Because of him video,
it might still be up today, not sure how long the will leave it up, but i
will attach a link anyway. watch it! it is amazing! I know that my
Savior Jesus Christ lives and am so glad to have the opportunity to
serve him. Love you! Have a great week!
Hermana Ray
