4/1/13: Easter Week

We got an investigator to come to Reciepe club. I love getting investigators involved in the activities of the church :)

Jaime just needed a friend this week, so we were more of friends that teachers, helping her cope with the difficulties of being a single mom. Plus, we got to help her move! That was lots of fun. This week we don't have very high numbers, but we had TONS of service opporunities!

It's time to use General Conference as an introduction to the church. I'm so excited. I LOVE CONFERENCE!!!!!

Pancakes. Are delicious. And tater-tot casseroles.

We came in contact with the COOLEST less-active family ever. They haven't been visited by the missionaries in something like two decades, and don't even have a BoM anymore (well, now they do, haha). But their testimonies shine! I can't wait to go see them again :)

Sometimes I REALLY wish we had a car. We could get SO much more contacting in. Without it, we can only cram in three lessons a day and can only contact 1-2 referrals in a week. Traveling takes FOREVER.

Got asked out on dates by some drunk guys.

We went to a baptism on Saturday with some of our investigators and watched The Testaments.  I love that movie. Our investigators loved it, too.

We spent Easter morning helping Jaime finish moving. We were scrambling to get it done and still have time to prepare for church.

The four missionaries in our ward all gave talks this Easter :) It was a fun time. Sister Ipson and I had like NO time to prepare our talks all week, but the elders made up the difference with some pretty awesome talks.

For Easter we had dinner at an amazing member's home. It was a great tender mercy.

I love Easter Season. The spirit of the resurrection is in the air. It's the COOLEST.

Got your packages and everything mom and dad :) thanks a lot.

That was our week. Not super crazy, but productive in a little of a different way.

Transfers this week! I've still got another full transfer with my trainer, but it's cool to see how the mission is spliting up to make room for the two new sisters and eighteen new elders. And a new senior couple :)

The Lord is Hastening!
