WOAH. okay. not a whole lot of
time, sorry. it´s getting a little colder here. we´ve had to go out
with our suit jackets quite a few times this week. definitely long
sleeve weather. It was kind of weird for Easter... people use it as a
day to not work, but other than that it`s a normal day. people aren´t
with their families, they take the long weekend to go to the beach with
friends, We have talks in church about Jesus and the resurrection, but
we didn´t have a special program or anything, not even easter hymns.
BUT. good ol´familia Muñoz Cruz had some huevitos waiting for us that
the conejito dropped off. ito ito ito here in Chile (you`re right, dad.
Tatita Diosito escucha mi oracioncita.) also, random, with my
Argentino comp i´m learning to speak in vos. (I now understand why you
say apuráte, che! and not apúrate po!) I like it. I think I can speak
in vos easier than in tú, now.
I just
want you all to know that I know Christ Lives. I know he died for us,
and I know that he was resurected and by and through Him, we will ALL be
resurected, and by and through Him, we can all be saved in the Kingdom
of God, if we do our part.
"For behold,
he surely must die that salvation may come; yea, it behooveth him and
becometh expedient that he dieth, to bring to pass the resurrection of
the dead, that thereby men may be brought into the presence of the
Lord... But behold, the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind, yea,
even all mankind, and bringeth them back into the presence of the Lord.
Yea, and it bringeth to pass the condition of repentance, that
whosoever repenteth the same is not hewn down and cast into the fire;
but whosoever repenteth not is hewn down and cast into the fire; and
there cometh upon them again a spiritual death, yea, a second death, for
they are cut off again as to things pertaining to righteousness....
Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the
sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name. Yea, thus we see
that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe
on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God. Yea, we see that
whosoever will may lay hold upon the word of God, which is quick and
powerful, which shall divide asunder all the cunning and the snares and
the wiles of the devil, and lead the man of Christ in a strait and
narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery which is prepared
to engulf the wicked— And land their souls, yea, their immortal souls,
at the right hand of God in the kingdom of heaven, to sit down with
Abraham, and Isaac, and with Jacob, and with all our holy fathers, to go
no more out."
Testifico de estas cosas, y lo hago en el nombre de Jesucristo, amén
Happy Easter!
