Happy Easter

This week was awesome, I hope yours was too. I have had to learn to have good weeks even when it looks bad. This week was a good example of that. We had several, if not 10+, people saying they'll be at church and 0 of them came. I got to exchange this week with one of my past companions Elder Trevor Lewis. Even they have usually several people at church and this week 20 people committed about and 3 came. On the other had we continue to find lots of new people to teach. This week was 4 new friends. This sounds discouraging but we continue to have tender Mercies and miracles.

This week was special though because of Easter! I have developed a lot of knowledge and appreciation for the Saviors earthly ministery, atonement, and resurrection. There is a special spirit that comes with this knowledge. I love hearing about the resurrection because it reminds me that we will all rise again. This gives me and others lots of courage to keep doing good. 

Our friends are progressing good. Our friend Valerie watched a lot of conference last week and is finishing it this week. She told us this week that we "caught her" and she feels a need to be baptized! She is uncomfortable with going to church right now but she'll get there. I'd love prayers for her. Originally Dennis was supposed to be getting baptized this week but he has struggled to keep commitments and will need at least 3 more weeks before his baptism. 

I pray you can have a good day and I'll see you next week!
