"Yesterday as you all know was Sunday... Happy
Easter. It was so sad. In church we did not have a single talk that spoke about
the resurrection in fact, none of them even talked about Jesus Christ. How is
that even possible in the Church of Jesus Christ? We did not have any Christ
related hymns either. Quite frankly it was the saddest Easter sacrament service
I have ever been to. The Peruvians do not understand the significance of the
resurrection. They think of Christ as the man Who died on the Christ and not as
the man Who lives! This way of thinking even extends to the members. So what did
we do? We went around teaching everyone about the resurrection yesterday. That
is all we talked about. The resurrection is the most important even in all the
history of man. It is more important than even the birth of Christ. I hope while
you were all decorating eggs and taking part in all of the super fun traditions
we have a Easter that you thought about the importance of the event that took
place on that day.
That was the week. And though my letter was not
anything super special and was not very spiritual I just want you to all know
how thankful I am for the mission. I have learned so much about a lot of things,
but most importantly I have learned a ton about our Savior. I now have a
testimony that will never be able to be broken. I know at times doubts and
troubles will come my way as that is part of this life I know that my newly
strengthened testimony will always help me stay true to my values and leave hard
situations victorious. I love the Savior and I know that He was resurrected so
that one day we will be too."
