Kumusta po kayong lahat!? This week has been an interesting one... Holy Week! There were really beautiful parades with people dressed in white and these big floats with statues of Jesus and Mary. Then the three days before Easter, people disappear. They stay in their houses as a symbol of when Christ was in the tomb before His Resurrection. So it was tricky to find trikes and jeepneys to get from place to place haha! And then on Easter, the people were back! The only real celebration thing that I was able to see was the fireworks at night.
We had a national ministering day for Easter and that was awesome! We just visited a lot of people with some members and just checked to see how they were doing. The people here bring me so much joy with their beautiful (a lot of the time toothless) smiles and kind hearts!
I am so grateful for my Savior. He helps me through everything. The Atonement of Jesus Christ isn't just for the big sins or big trials in our lives, but it's even for when your confidence doesn't feel as high as it should be one day or if you get a rude comment on your Instagram. If it matters to you, it matters to Him. I have a challenge for you all. Right now, if you can, or later tonight, kneel down in a quite place. Even if the only quiet place in your house is the bathroom, do it there. Kneel down and thank Heavenly Father for sending you His Son. Thank Him for the people who surround you. Just thank Him. I know that as you do so, you will feel His love. I have countless times.
I love you all and I pray for you often!
Love,
Sister Stewart
