The Pacific Area Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sent the following letter today to Church leaders throughout Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and other nations and territories of the South Pacific. The letter is for members and friends of the Church throughout the Pacific Area.
DOWNLOADDear Friends,
As we begin the Easter season, at this challenging time for the world, we send our love to the people of the South Pacific.
We testify that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has shown us the way to live happily and peacefully. Because of Him we can return as eternal families into the presence of God, our Father, and His Son Jesus Christ.
As we remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane and on Calvary, and His glorious resurrection, our faith is strengthened and our hope for a better world is increased.
We invite members and friends of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to share their love for and faith in Jesus Christ this Easter season by serving those around them. We also encourage you to share with others, in conversation and in social media, what Jesus Christ means to you in your life.
Find out more about the blessings of Jesus Christ and how to share your faith in Him at ComeUntoChrist.org, and by enjoying the Church's #BecauseofHim videos and other resources.
We also invite you to join us as we remember Jesus Christ at a worldwide gathering, called General Conference, from 3 April, at Pacific.ChurchofJesusChrist.org.
Sincerely,
Elder Ian S. Ardern
Elder K. Brett Nattress
Elder Kazuhiko Yamshita
