Dear Family and Friends,
This week has been a great one but there is not too much to report on. We have
had an up and down week with trying to contact our investigators Jeremy and
Mark. From the brief visits and conversations that we have had with them, they
are doing well and are keeping their commitments to read and pray! They haven't
made it to church yet, which is really disappointing seeing that it is the only
thing that is holding them back from being baptized! We are doing all that we
can with them and we are praying that all will work out with them!!
We have made some progress with the family that I talked about last week! After
helping them move, we called them a couple of days later to just check up on them
and see how they were doing. Well when we called them and talked to the Mum,
Cassie, she said that they were doing well and that their girls had
actually been asking her when we could come over? When we were talking to her
on the phone, we asked her straight up, how interested her and her girls would
be in taking the discussions and hopefully being baptized. She said that she
and the girls are actually really interested and would like to meet up when we
can! We were really happy when she told us that and we have scheduled some
times this week that we can come over and start teaching them!
As we approach this Easter Sunday my thoughts and heart are turned towards the
Savior, even more than they are during the other times of the year. As I
reflect on His final week and what He did during it, I am so grateful that he
spent it serving us. I am so grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ and for
His resurrection. Because of it, we have the blessing of being able to be
resurrected too and to be reunited with our loved ones who have passed away. As
I have had two of my close family members pass away in the past two months, I
have had the blessing of being able to pray, study and think about the message
of the Plan of Salvation. As I have done this during these trying times and
trials that I have experienced over these past couple of months, I have had my
testimony strengthened so much. It is now not a testimony, but knowledge that I
know it is true. I know that because of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and His
triumphant resurrection, I will see my Uncle, my Great Grandmother and all of
my other loved ones who have passed away again. I know this too be
true.
I would invite you all to go online to FollowHim.mormon.org and watch this years Easter video! And for those of you who
want to take it a step forward, I invite you to share it on your Social
Media pages or with a friend or family member who may not know of this great
message that we have. Share it with them and then bear your testimony and
knowledge of the Plan of Salvation and Jesus Christ! I promise that this Easter
Holiday will be a special one for all of you, if you will do this!
I love you all and hope you have a great week! Enjoy this time of the year and
the time that we have to celebrate the Saviors Atonement, crucifixion, and
resurrection! Be safe and love one another!
Love,
Elder Bryce Wheeler
