Family,
Happy Easter from Argentina.
Sooo this week was great! We had a
ton of lessons! I’ve never been so excited for Easter. So real quick, they don’t
really celebrate Easter here. All they do is sell homemade chocolate eggs that
are pretty cool. I bought one since it was my last Easter in Argentina! Why not
right?
Last Sunday we talked to a returned
missionary from Murphy, a little town that we have outside of Venado Tuerto. He
wanted us to go and he was going to show us around and meet some people. We
went on Friday and had a ton of success. We’re way excited to go again on Wednesday.
So this week we really focused on
the Resurrection Christ. I was really moved by something that I read about his
suffering before the resurrection. Christ, the Son of God, had to suffer for
us. He was mocked and treated like a criminal when in fact He hadn’t done
anything at all. The part that really hit me was that He didn’t HAVE to suffer
all of that. He, at any time, could’ve used his authority to end all the pain but
no. He didn’t come down from the cross like the people wanted him to do. He
chose to succom to the Fathers will and suffer both physically and spiritually.
He felt every single pain that was ever felt and that is yet to be felt. He
suffered so we don’t have to. We don’t have to suffer because he already did.
This is the biggest source of hope that we have in this life. The resurrection
makes it possible that we can live with God and our families forever. I am so grateful
for my Savior and Redeemer. I know he lives.
I love you all!!!
