It`s pretty wet today, it`s
been raining for about 8 hours now. I hope everyone had a good Easter
weekend and that everyone is doing good.
Easter
was pretty cool to see here in Mexico, there are a lot of different
celebrations and traditions that the people do here to remember Jesus
Christ. The celebrations went on for about a week. The majority of the
people here are Catholic, we got to see them parade around our area as
they did cool native dances and dressed up in native clothing. The whole
week is called Semana Santa, Friday is the day when Christ made his
sacrifice and payed for our sins and errors. Nobody works, all the
stores are closed, and everyone is in church. It was a petty cool
experience to see the peoples traditions here.
This
coming weekend, we are going to listen to the Prophet and our church
leaders. More than 2000 years ago, King Benjamin in the Book of Mormon
organized his people to share the message of the Atonement of Jesus
Christ. The story of King Benjamin is our first General Conference that
we have on record. The multitude of all the people was so large that
they built a tower and wrote all the word of King Benjamin so the people
could receive the revelation that Christ will be born, die for us, and
make it possible for us to repent if we come unto him. Mosiah 3, 4, and
5. https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Pz00iuorG2Q.
Christ put the order for us, as we follow his example, he will bless
and forgive us. He will never reject us. Thanks to Him, we will have the
opportunity to live with him and our families forever!
¡Tengan un buen semana!
