7.4--Because of Him

Dear Family and Friends,

This week was pretty awesome! :) It's always good when Easter is in the week! :) By the way, mi Padre, showed me this video online, and I thought that it was stellar! http://easter.mormon.org/ I hope you enjoy! :)

Um, some exciting things that happened  this week. First and foremost, we got RAIN!!!! Wahooo! The forest has been looking very dry, and the risk of impending forest-fires are growing. And so even a little bit of rain is truly a God-Send!

Anywho we also had Stake Conference this past week! (On Easter!), and it was beautiful! The speakers talked a lot about Christ and His sacrifice for us, and it has caused me to reflect time and again on my own discipleship to Him. 

I am not sure if I realized how significant "Easter" actually was before. Brother Fox, our WML said something that I thought was truly significant in his own quirky way! He said "I think that Christ rising from the dead was a similar conundrum of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Death comes to everybody, but God isn't supposed to die. Death did a system reboot and in essence Christ broke death. Because of Christ all living things can live again! Because of Him, the wall that was death had a hole punched in it, and we have an escape!"

Anywho, I thought that was awesome in it's own special way! :)

Yep that's all folks! Have a beautiful week! :)
