"2009 Easter Greeting Cards"

Spring is absolutely extraordinary here in NYC. Daffodils in our flowerbeds are in full bloom and bountiful. We have bask in the warmer temperatures and sunlight streaming through the windows. Everywhere we turn we see the renewal of life. We give special thanks this year for the joy we have felt through our CES calling. It has required intense daily study and teaching of the New Testament. This year more than ever before we understood and appreciated the life of example, (particularly the final week) of our Savior, Jesus Christ's mission on this earth.
After General Conference so many of our students shared how Elder Holland's talk about Christ's last week affected them. Florinda said, "I felt that Elder Holland walked me through the Atonement." We give thanks for Jesus Christ and know that his mortal ministry ended on the cross, but the empty tomb testified of His divinity and gave hope of a Resurrection for all of us.

Because of our Savior's love for us, we will all be Resurrected and live again. As we rode trains and buses this past month it was easy to share pass-along cards with a beautiful illustration of Jesus Christ on the front and this message on the back:

Faith in Christ can help you resolve personal and family challenges.
Please accept this free DVD, Finding Faith in Christ.

We put an address label with our names, telephone numbers, and The Astoria Ward meeting time, and address. We hand them out, offering a free movie to all. We pray after meeting our YSA, Oscar, that someone who is searching for the truth will accept our invitation and call for a free DVD. Imagine the happiness we can share if just one person makes a call and chooses Jesus Christ again. It's so easy and anyone can do it....we challenge you to try!
