TRANSFERS. TRIOS. AND HIGH TEMPERATURES!

This week has been incredible:: here are a few highlights from each day!

Tuesday we had 3 lessons. One was with this less active family. We talked about the importance of Sacrament meeting. The wife said "When people like us who are 'attendance challenged' don't go to sacrament meeting, we miss that feeling. You don't have that constant reminder all the time of where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going. And that's what the sacrament has always reminded me. I know Our spirits are weak right now. But Heavenly Father has never forgotten us. I want my grand kids to grow up knowing about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I will commit to coming on June 1st!" The lesson just went so well and bro berkhimer shared his testimony and it was powerful. He said that the first thing to do is to start coming back to church. They agreed and said they would come! It was such a powerful lesson and the spirit was there. We also taught a lesson on Facebook. This is how the Facebook lessons work: we find people (mostly random! or we get referrals). You know how you randomly might get friend requests from people from other countries that you didn't have mutual friends with? Well, we add them and message them about the gospel: teaching principles, extending commitments, and leaving something behind! It's really exciting. The goal of online teaching is to be able to pass these investigators over to missionaries in the residing area of the investigators and have them finish teaching and be able to baptize them. Another sister here is awesome with Facebook finding. She would find random people in America and other countries and just ask if they wanted to learn more about Jesus Christ and in the last few months she has been able to take someone with no knowledge of the gospel, teach them, and pass them to missionaries in their area, and they have gotten baptized! I think her Facebook baptism count is at least 6 or 7! The online work is hastening!


Wednesday:
We started off the day doing service for sister wells. We spread 11,000 sq feet of an area with cow compost stuff (cow poop) because they are getting ready to lay sod. I taught a lesson on Facebook! I went to the tomnod search page and messaged everyone that looked like they weren't members and one of the ladies replied! We discussed the articles of faith and started talking about the restoration. Then we also taught Alisha, our recovering addict, and invited her to be baptized on July 5th! We also did more service for the WML's wife who has been ill. Then we taught another new investigator named Christina. Her sister died like 8 months ago but Memorial Day is today so she was emotional thinking about how sad she was going to be today. We reassured her that death wasn't the end and that she will be able to see her sister again. We found some awesome potential investigators that we are going to teach next week as well!

Thursday:
We taught on Facebook and then headed for a lesson with sis vandellar, our regular Thursday appointment:) she just found out that she has skin cancer and has to go in for foot and shoulder therapy for her weak body. She requested a blessing so we went and found some elders to do that for her. We met another lady and had a doorstep lesson. She has "read stuff" online and is confused about the story of Joseph Smith so hopefully we'll get to return soon and teach her about the restoration! Then we went out and got our 20 and went to another less active lesson except they weren't home. Then Judy frendo texted us and said she had ice cream and ginger ale for us. So Of course we went! We read from 1 nephi with her and talked about the scriptures with her.

Friday:
Weekly planning! And we got our 20 contacts in just THIRTY MINUTES! (Record). Then we helped this lady in our ward pack up her house to move. We were suppose to have a Sleepover with the other 4 sisters but then sis alba sent out a text to the whole vacaville zone everyone saying it wasn't allowed. Oops. Ha. But we found out transfer doctrine!!!!!! I am staying in vacaville and I am getting 2 new companions. Sister Beach and Sister Clawson! I'll be in a trio! Sis Clawson will be STL. I am Sad SIster agura is leaving me. She is headed down to Santa Rosa and will be in the same ward with the mission president and his wife.

Saturday:
After personal study we went to get donuts and then met up with the district leaders at the church for companionship study.  Then from there we went to the Alamo building for Blitz for the 1st ward area Then after blitz sis agura and I sped over to mcdonalds for a lesson with bob. Bro Rayfield came and the lesson was great. Bob had some really good questions and we shared the restoration with Him. Bro Rayfield is a convert and joined at 17 (I didn't know that before hand) and he was a perfect fellowshipper for bob and was able to explain and testify about the restoration and invited bob to sit by his family at church!  Then we went to see Shirley and trish. Shirley told me that Trish was like selling all sorts of random things and I told Shirley that the clock on the wall was really cute and she told me that Trish would probably sell it to me. So Shirley asked Trish when she woke up and Trish took it off the wall and said I could have it for free! Score! Ask and he shall receive. Then we went to Judy frendo's for the night and helped install her printer and then shared Alma 8 with her.

Sunday:
Judy attended sacrament meeting. It was a very low key Sunday. Running around getting pictures because sis agura is leaving Wednesday. Bob didn't come to church. That was disappointing, but he said on June 8th he will:)

We have some great investigators, we just need them all to be home so we can teach them!!! I love you all! Have a great Memorial Day!! <3

3 Month Mark!!!

Press Forward Saints!

Hello family and friends! :)
This week has been a tough one, but we are happy and keep seeing
miracles. After losing 7 investigators, and having 14+ lessons fall
through, we decided its time to tract even more and find a new family.
And The Lord answered our prayers! We tracted into a less active
family who moved here from another part of Cali. They have five
children and they are all darling. I just keep picturing in my mind
how much excitement they would add to our ward here in Vacaville! We
are going to begin teaching them this next week and look forward to
the progress they can/will make. Also I got to teach at zone meeting
this past week. That was interesting/exciting. And I get to teach at
district meeting on Tomorrow. I get roped into everything since I'm
companions with an STL. It's kind of fun though, Only because I like
being incharge of things. ;) We taught Judy about the plan of
salvation and the lesson went awesome!  I was on exchanges with sis
andreasen at the time and the relief society president, sis Fawson,
came out with us and it was such a powerful lesson. Not much else to
report this week. But my comp and I are determined to press on with a
smile on our face as we try to find the ELECT! Love you all!! :D

Skyping was so fun! Happy Mother's Day to my Mom (and dad)! ;) here's a preview!
Love, Sister Peterson

I Believe In Christ

First of all, I wanted to start out by telling you that I know that
the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored. The same gospel that
Christ taught when He was here on the earth has been restored through
Joseph Smith. I know that Joseph Smith saw God the Father and the
Savior Jesus Christ. And just as Joseph Smith was able to simply turn
to God for direction, and speak to Him in prayer, we all can do the
same thing. We all have the wonderful opportunity to kneel in prayer
and speak to our Heavenly Father. He is waiting to hear from you. He
is waiting for you to turn to Him for help, guidance, answers, and
peace. Through prayer we can receive that- and so much more. I know
how much prayer has helped me in my life. We can pray for anything,
anywhere, at anytime. It's never to late to build that relationship
with our Heavenly Father. I hope you all are doing well. I pray for
you all every night and pray for missionary opportunities to arise in
each of your lives. I also would love to hear everyone's experiences
of missionary work. Send your stories my way! Here are a few of my
stories and the events that filled our week!
This past Monday night after dinner we did a service project for a
less active. I got to use a lawn mower for the first time. I was so
excited and had been looking forward to this for a few days!. After I
finished the first half I thought I was done. I wiped the sweat off my
forehead and was ready for some water. Sister Foutz said "alright now
the other half." I looked behind me and I didn't realize her lawn
continued to the other side of her house. By the end of it I was so
exhausted and realized that I now understand why my parents have fake
grass at their house haha.  We ended up getting done at 8:35(pm) and
we had a few minutes before it was curfew. We came to a 'T' in the
road and I asked sister Agura what we should do: go home or go see an
investigator who lived close by. Without hesitation, she said "let's
go see the Gregstons." Usually they are never home, but this time
their lights were on! They let us in and we talked to them and
explained that we were in pants because we had just finished doing
yard work. We told them that we do service for people and are always
looking for opportunities to serve. And also asked if there was
anything we could do for them. They told us they were moving and
looking for people to help! The mom (Simone) left the room to take a
phone call and Simone's older sister who was there told us that Simone
was crying all day because nobody was available to help her move, and
then all of a sudden we showed up! The Lord's timing is amazing.
Tuesday we knocked into this lady named Andrea. We introduced
ourselves and did our spill and asked if we could come back later in
the week to share a message. She said, "I have a few minutes right now
if you want to come in." Our hearts rejoiced. Her house was cute,
clean, and peaceful. We shared the message of the restoration and
taught her how to pray. We were able to ask a lot of questions and
figured out that she prays in her heart a lot but doesn't devote Time
to Actually pray often, and she's not very religious. She also said
she had never been baptized. We invited her to pray at the end and she
said the sweetest prayer. She said something along the lines of "Thank
you for these sweet ladies for finding me at this dark time in my
life. They didn't know that I was going through a hard time with the
death of my sister 3 days ago. Comfort me, please." We had no idea her
sister had died in a car accident in vacaville three days prior. The
Spirit is real. It was the spirit that directed us to her because the
spirit knew she needed a friend. The scripture from Mormon 8 comes to
mind as I think about this. "I am mindful of you always in my prayers,
continually praying unto God the Father in the name of his Holy Child,
Jesus, that he, through his infinite goodness and grace, will keep you
through the endurance of faith on his name to the end." (Moroni 8:3).
It's situations like this that makes missionary work feel so
rewarding.
Wednesday we had zone conference. President alba was sick so it got
cut short but I learned so much. One thing that stood out to me was
from an Elder's departing testimony. He said "change everyday." This
is so important because we need to allow ourselves to become better
each and everyday and become closer to our Savior Jesus Christ. When
we stay idle, we are not getting any closer to our destination. We
need to change and improve. We need to strive to reach our potential.
I know that Heavenly Father can give us strength to reach our greatest
potential if we will simply do our part and TRY to change.
Thursday I was on exchanges with sister Asey, who as you know, is a
transfer younger than me. President we had so much fun. We taught
three lessons. Around 7 pm our eternigator, Judy Frendo texted us and
said that she missed Us and loved us. I took that as a hint meaning
"come visit me!" So we did. We went and taught her about Charity. Judy
is such an inspiration to me. She knows the church is true. I told her
that I really desire to witness her get baptized. We had a very sweet
discussion and she makes me feel like a million bucks. She gets easily
emotional like how I do. So we really click. (Hahaha). I got her the
VHS "On The Way Home" about the plan of salvation and hopefully watch
it with her. (From 1992. It's an older video, but so powerful.) Her
husband died 10 years ago. I think the video will impact her. I know
it is not her time yet, but we just like to keep giving her activities
and commitments that will allow the spirit to testify to her.
Friday Sister Agura was at the mission home and the sisters that I was
grouped with were all doing weekly planning for their area. During the
week I always get so worn out. I thought I was ready for a day off.
Except Friday I basically had a day of rest and I went crazy. I just
wanted to go out and teach and contact people about the gospel of
Jesus Christ. It hit me once again, that I LOVE being a missionary.
Saturday sister agura was back and we had to do our weekly planning.
Sister alba called us and informed us that she was coordinating a
choir for that night's stake conference. We had choir practice after
our 5 hour planning, and at stake conference we sang "I Believe in
Christ." It was powerful. As we were singing, I was overwhelmed with
peace. There was a calmness that came upon me as we sang the 4th
verse:
4. I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From him I’ll gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard: “Ye shall obtain.”
I believe in Christ; so come what may,
With him I’ll stand in that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men.
Sunday Judy frendo came to church!!!!!!!! Also the Rayfields invited
us over for lunch which was a fun surprise. Then we took some young
women girls to a lesson for this 12 year old named Lauren. She ended
up not being home so we went on splits and went contacting. The first
contact was a senior in high school and told us to come back after
s.a.t. Testing. The 2nd guy, Luis, was out working on his yard and
stopped to listen to us. We told him that we would love to come back
and share more about Jesus Christ with him. He said "you can share it
now." Alrighty then! We shared the restoration message and my little
13 year old young women I was with was so darling. She is this cute
little white girl from South Africa and loves missionary work! She
testified of the Book of Mormon. We did great together and will see if
he comes to church or continues to progress.
So many of each of your neighbors are waiting to grow closer to Our
Savior, Jesus Christ. Get out there everyone and have a missionary
moment this week and share it with me. I believe in Christ and I know
He wants His gospel shared. Continue to pray for missionary
opportunities with your friends and family and witness the joy that
will come when you share the gospel. <3 EVERY MEMBER A MISSIONARY!!
Love you all!
Sister Peterson

Be Nice to Everyone! :)

I just wanted to share some miracles that are going on here in

Vacaville and introduce everyone to a few of our investigators. I will

do this by sharing some lessons we had and the miracles that we

witnessed.

1.) Preparation days are always fun but when things don't happen

according to our schedule, I get a little tense. Last Monday night,

The Mackleys were suppose to drop food off at five thirty, but they

called and said it would be late....more like 6. Though discouraged,

we were still grateful we got fed! It actually was the Lords plan

after all because we had planned for a member to come to a lesson with

us at 7. When we showed up to the lesson, the lady, D, was like "I am

in the middle of making dinner." And then right then, her husband came

home from an evening jog and introduced himself to us and he told us

that his wife told him we were coming over, and he was looking forward

to it, but that it slipped their mind that it was actually this day.

Sis agura, being the persistent saint that she is, said "we just have

a short message to teach, it won't take long." Moments later they

allowed us into their home. We started talking to them about what they

remember from the missionaries 13 years ago when they used to get

taught. She said she didn't remember much except that both

missionaries got transferred and stopped coming, and then a year later

her and her husband moved to Texas and lost complete contact with

people from our church.  We were able to teach them the restoration.

They have a great understanding of who Heavenly Father is, and the

purpose of prophets, and understand the basics of how/why so many

religions were formed, and how we got the Book of Mormon. The spirit

was so strong and they really grasped onto the lesson greatly! I was

able to Invite them all to be baptized! (3 of them, Joseph, D, and

helana who is 13!!) They said that as a family they would pray about

it. What more could we ask for:) Then the husband offered a kneeling

prayer at the end and we set up a return appointment for next week.

Miracles are real and we witnessed an incredible one!!

2.) We also were knocking and we were going to knock on a certain

house, and a lady walked out and told us that she's the caregiver for

an older woman named Fern who was sleeping. But the caregiver told us

that we could come back and that Fern would love a visit. So we went

back later and Fern was awake and invited us in right away! She told

us that a lot of her family has died: her husband, a few children,

etc. We asked her what she knows about what happens after we died. She

said "nobody knows!" Ha. So shared the Plan of Salvation with her and

told her that she would get to be with her family again someday. We

invited her to pray about the message we shared and she said she

would. We taught her how to pray as well as extending an invitation to

be baptized. She said the closing prayer and said she would pray about

the message and allow us to come back to meet with her again next week

and teach her about the restoration.

3.) (this is necessarily a miracle but it was funny!) So based off of

what we heard at general conference a few weeks ago, we have been

encouraged to be more persistent in our missionary efforts. We were

going through our ward list and thought we would go visit this less

active who we had never heard of or met before. This nice-looking lady

answered the door. We asked if this particular guy lived here, and

mentioned that we were the new missionaries in the area. She then got

very furious and yelled "I have already asked your church to not visit

us anymore. My husband isn't apart of your church anymore because he

is part of my church now! Want to know what I hate about your church?!

YOU GUYS ARE SO PERSISTENT!" I giggled on accident. We have been

noticed by someone not of our faith of the exact quality that the

prophets and apostles have encouraged us to be!

4.) On Thursday we were finally able to hit, for the first time, our

TWENTY (Contacts), THREE (Lessons), ONE (baptismal invite) all in the

same day!! It was AWESOME! I was on exchanges and figured it was my

time to shine, so I did! We had a street contact and invited him to be

baptized and he ACCEPTED! Too bad he isn't in our area.... Haha.

5.) On Friday we were able to go and teach the Standfills. They were

getting ready to head to Dixon to take Chad (25) to the doctors. We

briefly shared the restoration Mormon message with them. Elena is the

Mom and Wes is the husband. Wes doesn't like 'organized religion', he

says, but he keeps joining in on the lessons and he agreed to pray

about the message of the restoration and also to pray about the Plan

of Salvation that we taught last week. so! He was a new investigator.

We actually picked up 8 new investigators this week. That was

exciting!

6.) On Saturday we had a service project and I contacted this family

that happened to be walking down the bike path that we were clearing.

They were Spanish speaking and so after the continued walking, i ran

the opposite way and grabbed our Spanish elder, elder Cude (our

previous district leader) and said "a family just walked past a few

minutes ago and I'm pretty sure they want to get baptized. They're

Spanish speaking, a family of six! Go save them!" So elder Cude and

his companion ran after them and they talked to them about the gospel

and actually got an appointment with them for this upcoming week and

got their address. It was awesome!

7.) Saturday we were contacting and tracted into a lady named Mary.

She felt bad for us because it was cold and windy. So she let us in.

Ka-Ching!!! She offered us food and soda, and in exchange, we offered

her spiritual food and we taught her a lesson and got a return

appointment! She said she will go to which ever church her children

enjoy and like the most. We are excited to teach her family! Aothing

new investigator!!

8.) We have really been trying to focus on less Actives right now. One

less active we are working with is named Jamie Grant. She is amazing,

has 4 children. The transfer before I got to vacaville, I guess the

sisters tried to visit Jamie Grant ALL THE TIME but they couldn't ever

catch her and also she never texted them back. Last transfer we were

also to meet with her twice, but she never would come to church or

text us back. It's been exciting recently because we have finally made

it to the point where she texts us back, comes to church when she

isn't working, AND TEXTS US FIRST to ask when we can come visit her,

and she tells us her work schedule. It's been awesome! She has a

daughter who 9 and isn't baptized and also Jamie lives with her

boyfriend who we want to teach as well. So we are continuing to work

with them:) When she attended church, at the beginning she was a

little off set by her childrens behavior and she was very impatient

with them. By the end of church, she was so patient and so much more

loving towards her children. This is why we learn about Jesus Christ

at church. We learn more about who he is, and what he has done so that

we can align our lives with His. We could see a smile on Jamies face

as she left church with her children. That is what church does for us.

We go to church as imperfect people, and we should come out of church

with a renewed attitude and a deeper desire to follow our Savior Jesus

Christ. This starts by putting a smile on our face!

9. Lesson I learned this week:  While we were tracting and we came

across this Hispanic guy (like a white guy with Hispanic names) and he

said that he had only lived in vacaville for like 5 years, but that he

used to live in Arizona. I asked which part, and told him that I grew

up in Mesa AZ! He said "I loved there!" I asked him what cross roads.

Hahahaha he said POWER AND MCKELLIPS! I was like dude no way, I live

there! Hahaha. He lived behind Home Depot. And he was a substitute

teacher at Fremont junior high during the time that I was there. He

was an English substitute and I am pretty sure he was my sub one time.

He said he used to sub for the English teacher with a bunch of moles.

I forget her name now that I'm writing this but she was my English

teacher and we had subs every now and then and I'm pretty sure he

subbed for her! Haha, small world. Moral of the story: you never know

who you will come in contact with later in your life, so be nice to

everyone:)

Fun things we did this week: Spent 5 hours at the car dealership and

enterprise to get a car rental. I miss our brand new Chevy cruze

though. Our rental car we got smells like smoke but it has a sunroof

that we use each day! :) and we actually can afford to drive out to

the country to visit less actives because usually we don't have the

miles for it but now we do! :) The rental car enterprise guy was named

Kyle and his dentist is Bro Pedersen. Idk how we got on the subject

but it was a fun connection. Also, during the service activity a news

reporter was there and kept talking pictures of me and sister Baird

trimming down trees. Yep, you guessed it! Our picture made it into the

paper! I'll try to attach a picture.

Also, Thanks everyone who sent me some funny jokes!

I hope you all have a GREAT WEEK! I challenge everyone to try to find

1 missionary opportunity Each day. Even if this means that you are

just mentioning our church name to someone and inviting them, or

pointing out to some one that you meet that the have a great attribute

of Christ and then tell them the attribute they noticed. It's when we

forget ourselves and help others that we receive happiness!

Easter Week!

I hope you all had a great Easter and were able to center it around Jesus Christ. We had a great week and saw many miracles. My week went something like this:
Monday- we went to Fentons with the nice lady in 3rd ward. She bought 5 companionship's lunch and huge banana splits. I tried to do the banana split challenge (it has 1/2 gallon of ice cream on it) and failed! I couldn't finish it but it was delicious until I started throwing up. Haha!!! Then we went to our dinner appointment and guess what we had for dessert: ice cream. This was the first time I had to refuse it because I already ate way.too.much!
Tuesday- amazing day! We taught 6 lessons and saw so many miracles. Came across less actives ward members and invited them all to sacrament meeting on Easter Sunday!
Wednesday- we went contacting for about 3 or 4 hours. It was really neat because we met this guy (maybe 40ish) and he said that his daughter had some type of program first aid training at our church building 3 or 4 years ago and he has been wanting to attend but didn't know if it was invite only or if everyone was invited! Bingo! We invited him to come to church with us and we hopefully will see him this upcoming Sunday!! (Everyone is heading out of town because this is their spring break right now.) We kept contacting and then came across a bunch of kids playing outside and they just finished a water balloon fight! There was a few in 4th grade, a couple in 3rd grade, and a couple in 2nd grade. Some of them are actually in the same class as some little kids in our ward and we found out that they were friends with them. They really loved talking to us and started telling us their plans for spring break and such. It wasn't long before their mom came outside and told us to stop talking to her children about religion. We quickly said bye and left. As we were heading through the rest of the Court and visiting the houses next door, we heard the mom saying to all the kids and neighbors, "don't talk to strangers. You know better." Blah blah blah. We quickly finished up that street and we leaving. On our way back to the car the children started yelling "go away strangers" and "we hate strangers" "no body likes you" and other rude comments. We smiled and waved "bye! Have a nice day!" It is incredible to watch the impact that parents really do have on children. Whether parents realize it or not, kids are always aware of what you do and take their parents example. It taught me a lot about how I want to raise my children because I don't want anyone to have to feel like how we felt as we were getting yelled at and threatened by 8, 9, 10, and 11 year olds. Our day lightened up as we went to our dinner appointment at the Schraders. They have 8 kids and it's always a party over there. They are such great examples to their children and it was like night and day difference from the children having a water balloon fight and the Schraders children. As we let Christ into our lives, our attitude changes, and our purpose in life. Christ was the greatest example of Love and how to treat others. He went around serving and making others happy each day. May we all strive to be more Christ like and share a smile with a stranger- you never know the trials or challenges they might be facing!
Thursday- We had a Facebook lesson. Right now we are teaching two boys- one from India and one from Nigeria. It's pretty neat. Then we headed out to start tracting in Crystal Springs to get our 20 contacts. We were looking in lds tools and it showed that a member that we had never met on crystal springs so we decided to stop and meet him. His wife said he was sleeping and I looked through the front window and saw a bed in the front room, but no one was it in. Eventually he woke up from the couch (haha he heard my loud voice) and the wife invited us in to meet him. His name is William and he was baptized 15 years ago. He's about 60ish. Well we had a great lesson with him. He is very ill and can't go up any stairs, so that's why the front room is now his bedroom. We had a lesson with him and his wife. While we were talking, sis Agura was acting sort of different. When we left, sis informed me that last transfer her and her comp went to get their car fixed and he was there as well and saw their name tags and started bashing! Saying that there is no God in Heaven because if there was, why would he allow him to suffer so much here on earth! And a bunch of other stuff. Sis Agura told me that all she could do was bear her testimony and walk away. When we were at Williams house she realized that he was the man that was previously bashing with them and that he was a member!!!! We will work with him more this transfer and help him strengthen his testimony. his testimony has been shaken as he has had to deal with a lot of health problems in his life which is causing him to be immobile and feel helpless. We also had a very powerful lesson with Judy frendo about the restoration. She believes and reads from the Book of Mormon but doesn't have a testimony of Joseph smith or the restoration. So we are going to keep working with her. She has been investigating for 10 years but if she doesn't start keeping commitments we will need to stop visiting her until she reaches out to us and tells us that she's ready to be serious this time. Afterwards a member took us to Mel's Diner and then we rushed off to a meeting with the stake presidency. It was sister Agura and I, the zone leaders, and the stake presidency... And then on Skype was the mission president! It was so awesome having him there and being able to see how much effort goes into missionary work from the president, stake presidency, zone leaders. I felt privileged to be there! Sis Agura is an STL so since we can't be separated, I was there to participate. It was awesome. Before we headed in it was funny because Sister Agura said "Don't talk" hahaha and so i didn't say anything, and then President Abla said "Sister Peterson, tell us your thoughts on [this]?" I gave sister Agura the "I think i NEED to talk" look and gave my input. The zone leaders afterwards said that i was awesome with the things i said. Yay!

Friday- We were able to teach a lesson in a members Home for the Standfills! There spirit was so strong as we taught the plan of Salvation.

Saturday we contacted most of the day. We also taught three lessons and met this guy at a trailer park and he said that he wants a church to attend because he hasn't been to church in 6 years! yay! He's one of those sweet, old Walmart greeters. Hopefully we see Him later today :)

Easter Sunday: WE HAVE INVESTIGATORS COME TO CHURCH!!!!!!! MIRACLES HAPPEN FOLKS! Two investigators and they brought their 2 children and also a less active family came to church as well! It was just filled with joy and the speakers were awesome as well as the children's choir. I felt the spirit and I hope our investigators did as well and that we will be able to have them join with us again.

If any of you actually continued reading all the way down to the bottom of this email, send me a reply with some funny jokes! Our District leaders are awesome and we tell jokes to each other a lot and are in need of some more! :) I hope you all are having a great week. Continue to Follow Monson's counsel from October 2013 conference and reread or listen to the conference talks from this past conference especially and receive even more revelation for yourselves and/or for your families! I love you all!
