Aundrea turned 20 today! 

This week was great!! My recent convert Marcel received the priesthood, and he and my half recent convert, Daniel, are going to the temple on Friday to do baptisms!! AHHHHH!!! I´m so excited!! We worked hard this week, but still no baptism. I’m getting discouraged, but I just gotta keep working diligently. I still feel super blessed though, we had several miracles but also several drunk people hitting on us. Unpleasant. 

BUUUUUT all in all, I just want to testify that our Savior, Jesus Christ, lives. The people here celebrate Holy Friday or whatever it´s called in English, the day Christ died, and it´s really sad. The streets were vacant and there was a large group of people in robes mourning and carrying the “body´´ of Jesus. And it´s something I understand why they do it, but my question is why mourn His death, when He lives? He overcame death. Yes, he suffered and died, but He was resurrected, and because He lives, we can too. HE OVERCAME DEATH ITSELF. We all have difficulties and trials of faith, but if Christ can go through indescribable suffering, bleeding from every pore, and death, we can face our everyday trials. We can touch the marks in His hands by reading the scriptures daily, and thrust our hands into His side, by praying in every moment. I testify that He lives, and loves us, and that His hand is ever stretched out to us. Take his hand. Walk on the water. 

HE LIVES.

Love,

Sister Evans
