baptism this weekend. Have you ever met someone and had the strangest
feeling that you already knew them and that you'll know them forever?
That's how it is with these two. I'm so grateful to be a part of their
lives and to have had the opportunity to teach the fullness of
Christ's gospel to Lawrence. One of the happiest moments for a
missionary is to sit in front of the baptismal font and watch someone
get baptized that you have taught and loved and prayed for and
sometimes even cried for. To watch a person transform because of the
Atonement of Jesus Christ is one of the most beautiful things to
behold in this life. It is such an honor to walk with the Savior in
this work of salvation. He is my best and closest friend and I know
that all that I am and all that I can become is because of Him.
How exciting to look forward this weekend to Easter, the celebration
of the Savior conquering physical death after He first conquered
spiritual death. I hope we each remember what this holiday really is
all about. Remember that it is because of Him that you can do all
things. The Church has put out a media blitz to help raise attention
to remind each of us what we are really celebrating this weekend. If
you haven't already, share on Facebook or any media site what
blessings you have in your life because of Christ and add the hashtag
#BecauseofHim. Don't miss out on this opportunity to share your
testimony of our Savior! Also, go to Easter.mormon.org and watch and
share the beautiful video put together about Christ!
Most of all, don't forget to pray and thank Heavenly Father for all of
your blessings that are possible because of Jesus Christ.
I love you all so much and I sure love being a missionary!
Love, Sister Amber Flower Ricks
