Hi Ya'll!
How was ya'll's Easter? Did ya'll enjoy the women's broadcast? It was so good! Church was great, as always:D I don't think we remembered to tell ya'll but they asked us and the other missionaries in the ward to sing "This is the Christ" and yesterday we sang it to the ward. I've decided that I don't like singing parts, it's a LOT harder. The ward seemed to like it, which was good because we weren't able to practice a whole lot:D Also thank you for the packages! Also tell Dad I say HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND THAT I LOVE HIM!!:D
Saturday our ward had a Easter egg hunt for the kids in the ward and our investigator came! (Rae) They seemed to really enjoy it, and their kids loved it! Now we just have to get them to a church service! After the activity, we showed them around the building, but it was hard to make it a spiritual experience though because there were still kids running around. We're hoping to do another church tour but this time have it be just us and Rae, that way she won't be distracted by her kids or any other kids. We had a lesson with her Sunday and the Spirit taught the whole time. We talked about her desires to find out for herself and how she had to make that decision. Rae really opened up to us and we were able to learn why she still hasn't come to church. We told her in order for us to keep seeing her she had to do her part. We asked her a lot of questions trying to understand where she was coming from and why she even wanted to know if the things we were teaching her are true. I think she understands now that it's up to her, and we can't receive her answer for her. Anyways, that's how Rae is doing:D
Well I have to go, but before I do, I just want to say that I love my Savior and am so grateful for everything he's done for me! Because of him we all can be resurrected and live with our families forever. He has felt our burdens, our sorrows, our afflictions, grief's and so much more. He's felt what its like to be discouraged, homesick, scared, and because of that he knows exactly how to succor us. I've learned that the world and Satan are constantly telling us to give up. But Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ whisper to us try one more time. The Savior offers us joy, peace, comfort, strength, and the courage to press forward. He is there to love us and help us in no matter form that may come. Sometimes even a day can feel like forever and can be hard but as we turn to our Savior, we will feel his love and the Spirit will warm our hearts and we will triumph. No trial, no sin, no challenge is too hard or to deep for Jesus Christ to heal us and help us. The Savior's love and his Atonement has no boundaries. His love is eternal, everlasting, infinite, and very real. And there aren't words to describe how grateful I am to have him in my live and how much I love him. He is everything to me and my mission has changed me for the best. I love ya'll so much and am beyond grateful for my family/friends and all ya'll have done for me in my life! Love ya'll and have a great week! #HeIsRisen
