Glad to see you are all doing well. Like the title of this message says, its the end of my first transfer! We have received travel plans and I am staying in my current area. My trainer, Elder Ayre, however is going to open a new area in Malone, NY. It is going to be hard to get a new companion and be the one who has to introduce him to all of my investigators; but the Lord will help me.
This is the week when I will have my first baptism! She is getting baptized this Saturday and its been such a blessing to see her progress up to this point. I will also be giving a talk this Sunday for Easter, so that's kinda funny if you think about it. I am a brand new missionary and I am going to give a talk on the Atonement/Resurrection (talk about having a "new way of life"). Haha! But anyways, life is good here in New York and I look forward to starting my second transfer.
I will leave you all with a short Easter message:
"Oh it is wonderful that he should care for me enough to die for me." These words from the hymn I Stand All Amazed now stand for why I celebrate Easter. Jesus Christ died for not only my sins and earthly pains, but for everyone's. As we go through this next week before Easter Sunday, let us all remember Him and show gratitude for His sacrifice. I know that this Church is true and that Jesus is the Christ who died so we can all return to our Heavenly Father above. I bear my witness in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
