Glad Påsk!‏

Glad Påsk(Glahd Pohsk) allihopa! What an interestingly fun week this has been! Thanks to all of those who wrote me and those pictures of you all are soooo CUTE! By the way I was thinking about Brazil today.... and Mom... remember when Nelly stole your shoes? hahaha! Anyways...

Well this week has just been filled with inspiration, guidance and love for ALL of God's children! This week we were able to teach Marvin about the priesthood and get him stoked for that and tell him about General Conference! He was so excited to hear that he would have the chance to listen to ALL of the sessions! We were able to promise him that he would recieve some type of answer to his prayers if he came in with a questions. A couple of days later he called us and asked us if he could contact people on the streets WITH us to see how we talk to people and communicate to people about something that hasn't played a big role in their life. he LOVED it! It was amazing to see HIM ask some REALLY deep questions to people on the street. After we contacted a person that really didn't want to hear what we have to say Marvin commented to us... "These people really need to be prespared to recieve this message dont they? I WAS!" haha he is AWESOME. His testimony really grew to see that he was EXACTLY LIKE those people before he took in the lessons and he was able to see how much he really had changed for the BETTER! That was AMAZING!

We have also been visiting one of our less-actives who is a priesthood holder named Peter. After our visit he called us and asked us if he could help us out with teaching our investigators! That made my heart SWELL when he said that. It really is amazing to see how much a person can change if he is humble and receptive to the spirit telling him what he needs to do!

Unfortunately one of our African investigators named Baba we had to drop because he kept falling through. We were able to teach a woman from Thailand and she brought her husband with to the library and they are both interested finding out more about Jesus Christ and his teachings! We had a Book of Mormon in Thai and in Swedish and they were really thankful! We told them to read it and ask to know if it's true and they said they would!

One of our investigators named Tony really likes the Book of Mormon when we reads it. But everytime we go to his house he never remembers to read and pray by himself. And he says he doesn't have the time. So we have decided to let him go a little bit more because we know that the Lord has prepared people for us and that these people won't need to be convinced to read or pray but they will know. Our other recent convert Pan is doing great and just has troubles with her husband and friends against the church and they tell her to leave it about every other day. But she tells us that she ignores them and says that they don't understand what the church is like and if they read the Book of Mormon, they will know why Pan looks, seems, and acts better now as a member of God's church! These people really have been prepared it's amazing!

We were able to visit a new investigator for about 15 min and we asked her if she was able to read the Book of Mormon. She said she read the book and she didn't have it with her. We were kind of bummed to hear that it wasn't at her house but right after that she told us that she had given it to a friend to read and that she wants to meet us as well the next time! AWESOME! Claudette has 4 children and so we are really looking forward to see where that goes!

Other than that we made fliers and advertised for General Conference to all of the less-actives and investigators we had! This General conference was really amazing and inspiring and answered so many of my prayers! I know that the power of prayer is SO REAL and we really have to keep a prayer in out heart at all times to recognize the answers to the questions we asked! With a focus on the Savior I really was touched to have my mind refreshed on WHY I am here as Jesus Christ's representative and what kind of feeling of Happiness, Peace, Comfort, and eternal HOPE this message WILL bring to all of those that are already PREPARED! It was amazing to see how much the general authorities talked about Families and how it all starts from there! That is so TRUE.

If I did not have a family that supported me and taught me what I know today... I would DEFINITELY be a different person!

I'm so grateful for all of your examples to me of Love! I wasn't able to watch grandfather but I will today for P-day! I am so excited to hear his message and am so glad that the family is ALL doing great! I love you all and Happy Birthday to Laurie and David in a few weeks... and.... yeah!

Thanks for the pictures! I love you all to death. But I'm going to go declare some souls unto repentance now...

PEACE!
