He is Risen!

Happy Easter to everyone! Yesterday was a super great Easter Sunday and we had a fun week down here in Argentina. First and foremost I am now with my daughter, the beloved Hermana Villagrán! 

My New Daughter!

My Daughter

She is from Chile and she is so so great! I love her with all my heart! She is so determined and such a hard worker! We arrived in Tres Arroyos Friday at 8am and we have seen so many miracles in this short weekend. 

That same Friday that we arrived we put a man on date to be baptized! Then the very next day we put a woman on date to be baptized! (To be honest though, really the member accompanying us put her on date to be baptized. The member told this girl, "the missionaries are preparing a baptismal service if you would like to be baptized.")

We had a lot of lessons and visited a lot of people this weekend. On Sunday we have 5 of our friends come to church and it was so special! 

Our friend Eduardo came to church and afterwards he told us he can't wait to come back! He said he felt something really special at church and he knows that he needs to come back! 

This week has been so special and I feel so blessed to be in Tres Arroyos right now at this time! My daughter Hermana Villagrán is literally the best, all our friends are awesome, and the lord is guiding our steps. I know that things will get dificult, or that we'll have hard weeks or days, but it is because we will be challenged that we will have a lot of success! 

Spiritual thought

Happy Easter! This Easter season I have been thinking about Christ's resurrection. Thanks to his death and resurrection, every one of us will be resurrected as well. Not only from physical death, but be resurrected from all our pains, fears, and trials. 

Through Christ's Atonement, his suffering and triumphant victory, we can rise above all the challenges we face in this mortal life. We can be resurrected as we find or receive forgiveness, as we comfort others, as we find acceptance in a trial, etc. The Atonement does not solely cover sins or death, it encompasses everything. 

I encourage you to ponder on how you have been resurrected this Easter season, or to look for where Christ can help you leave the past behind, and begin anew.
