The Prince of Peace

Hey everyone!

It's been a pretty good four days since I last wrote everyone. The Lord has been blessing us with so many people to talk to. The main reason for that is the fact we have a new Easter video the church put out all centered on how Christ is the Prince of Peace. There was one day we went all out with finding on Friday and it was so cool to see people's hearts soften as they saw who we represent. We got a couple of return appointments which I was pretty excited about because typically it's a bit challenging to get a return appointment when you tract. It's really not that hard to look back on how blessed you were as a missionary in the daily life. There really is powerful peace that comes from being grateful.

I'm also pretty excited that it is Easter Sunday this weekend. Easter time has always been pretty special for me these past few years, even before I came on my mission. As I've learned more of the Savior's mission and His perfect Atonement, I have had such great inner peace that I could not obtain anywhere else. Probably the greatest blessing I will ever have had on my mission is really getting to know who my Savior is and how He is there for me every step of the way. I know, by the power of the Holy Ghost, that Jesus Christ did come to redeem all of God's children. He died and lived again so we may all return back to the presence of the Father. I'm thankful for the Easter season and the special meaning it has for all of us to celebrate all year round. 

In other news, this is the last week of the transfer. So Elder Morton and I are probably going to split since we've done 3 months together. The question is who's staying and leaving? I'll keep you posted what happens! I hope you all have a blessed Easter Sunday!
