Happy Easter everyone.
Easter in Japan isn't really that big yet, but we did a couple of things.
The church had a sunrise service, it was really good. It was just a lot of
people's testimony of Christ. Also my companion and I made Easter
eggs...we used markers to color eggs. I'll send the picture we took. If
you’re wondering, I drew the bunny :D Also we watched the new video called
"Because of Him." It's only a couple of minutes long but it's
fantastic. If you haven't seen it yet I recommend that you take a look.
Also last week we went to
a concert. One of our English students performs in a choir and got us free
tickets to his concert that they only do every 3 years. It was a fantastic
concert…all about flowers blooming. Our student was super excited to see
us after, it was nice to be able to support him. Other than that not
much has happened this week. We've been spending most of our days trying
to find people. We don't really have any investigators right now, so we’re
just talking to a lot of people on the street.
So instead of 5 questions,
because it's Easter my Dad has asked for me to share my testimony of
Christ.
My testimony of Christ is
simple. I may have never seen Christ. And I may never see Him while in
this earthly body, but I know He lives. I know He lives because I have
felt His love. And because I have felt His love, I know that He wasn't
just a man that said some nice things two thousand years ago. But He was
the Son of God, and He left us the perfect example to follow. As a child,
He learned from His parents, He increased in knowledge precept by precept,
He was baptized by a man holding God’s authority, He went and traveled to
preach the word of our Father, He atoned for the sins of the world, and
for speaking the truth, He was crucified. However, death was not His end.
On the third day He rose from the dead. Christ conquered death, so we
would be able to follow His example and live again. I testify that Jesus
is the Christ. That He lives in a resurrected body of flesh and blood.
That He is a God of the living, not the dead. That we will live again with our
loved ones. And while we live now, He is anxiously engaged in our lives.
That He has not abandoned us on this earth, but continues to talk to us
not only through the Holy Ghost to our hearts but also through the
Prophets that He has given us to guide us. Last of all I testify that He
loves every single one of us. And that every single one of us can feel His
love, no matter the circumstances.
I testify of these things
in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ,
Amen.
