This week was kind of rough I'm not going to lie! A lot of the people
we have been teaching have been difficult to get ahold of so that was
frustrating. But we just pushed through and went to work.
On Wednesday we went on exchange after District Meeting and that
was good, I went to the North area with Elder Ross and Elder Harker
came down here to the South area with Elder Stubblefield. Our
apartment is nicer than theirs so I am grateful for that! Haha :)
Elder Ross is a great guy and missionary, I look forward to serving in
this ward with him more!
Friday we tracted a lot because all of our appointments fell
through and we didn't get to teach any lessons so that was kind of
disappointing! But a member bought us Jet's Pizza for dinner so that
was a great way to end our day.
Saturday morning we had an Easter Brunch in the ward and we were
able to show the new Easter video the Church just came out with at it
so that was awesome! If you haven't seen it yet, check it out on:

Also on that website this week it goes through the events during the
last week of Christ's mortal ministry, lots of things to learn and see
there! :)
Sunday was wonderful, I loved it! All of the meetings were edifying
and uplifting. Third hour was especially great. Since it was 5th
Sunday it was a combined meeting and we were taught by the Stake
Public Affairs Specialists. They gave a great presentation and showed
the awesome videos the Church has come out with for Easter these past
2 years. They also showed clips of Elder Bednar's talk entitled, "To
Sweep The Earth As With A Flood." He talks a lot about what we can do
to flood the Earth with good, uplifting messages, which will directly
combat and eventually overcome the evils that dominate the internet. I
know that we are led my Apostles and Prophets today and I am SO
grateful for the opportunity we have to hear from them every 6 Months.
It's interesting how General Conference falls on Easter this year, and
it is always around the time when we are celebrating Christ's
Resurrection, because we are reminded that He Lives, and he speaks to
us through his servants. If we think of Conference that way, that we
are literally hearing the words Christ would share with us, I think we
will get a lot more out of it. Anyways, I hope you all have a
wonderful Easter Week! Remember what it is all really about! Christ
Lives. He leads, guides, and directs His Church on the Earth today,
and we can all be a part of it. I love you! Have a great week :)
