Happy
Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D and General Conference
weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so
excited for this wonderful week and for the time to testify of the Atonement
and Resurrection of Jesus Christ this week! The Women's Conference was
great!!!! We had Holly, Sister Parker, and Mishone Gray and her daughter,
all people we are teaching come!!!!!! It was so great! Holly and
Sister Parker also came to church yesterday too! Holly just came home
from a trip to Idaho, where her friend is going to school. She said it is
like a whole other culture there and she loved it. :)
Yesterday was a super great day! Bishop Holmes has a friend
named Melissa. He invited her to speak in our ward for third hour so
Melissa and her husband both came to church. She shared an amazing story
of her life and then they opened it up to questions. At the end, she said
I thought I was coming to teach you guys but really I learned a lot. She
said she felt really comfortable and liked church a lot. She wants to
brig her 12 year old son! We invited her to learn more and she said she
actually is really interested! She said she would talk about it with her
husband.
We had a lot of little tender mercies this week. We had a
few minutes before we had to go to a dinner appointment. We had passed by
a really bright yellow house the other day and saw people standing
outside. So with the few minutes, SIster Calderon said, "let's try
the yellow house!" I didn't know exactly how to get there but
started driving to where I though it would be close to and I found it super
fast! When we got there, there was a lady sitting on the front
porch. We started talking to her and found out she has seen missionaries
before a couple of times and that she has been going through some hard times and
wants to start going to church when her husband gets home from outside the
country!
- We have been focusing a lot on sharing the
Because He Lives video with everyone too! Watch it! It is
really good! We have been inviting the members to share it with
their friends. A laurel named, Hannah, asked us for 7 copies of the
Book of Mormon! We were surprised! She said she had been
reading the Book of Mormon at school and a lot of her friends started
asking questions about it and one asked if they could have a copy.
Then others starting saying they wanted one too! The little things
we do go along way! It is neat what a good missionary Sister Parker
was at church too. She invited our investigator over to her house today
and told the visiting couple all about the wonderful young men's program
the church has for his 12 year old son!
I am so grateful for the gospel and for Jesus Christ! He lives and
loves us! I can't believe how the time has flown by! I know there are
miracles ahead! Love you all!
The church is monumentally true! Enjoy Conference!
