Happy Easter!

Hey hey hey!

Okay so apparently today is Cesar Chavez day, whatever that is. So the whole city is closed, so we didn't get to email at the library today. We were able to ask a member to open the family history center for us, but we've just got a little time.

Okay! So. I got my new companion this week! She's great. We're super different but definitely compatible. Our strengths and weaknesses really balance each other out. We're really learning a lot from each other. She's from Texas and has 6 months in the mish. She has a lot of doctrinal knowledge and is a great listener. We really help spark ideas in each other. It's fun because we help each other be a lot more creative. I love that we don't do the same thing every day, we're really trying a lot of different things. It's been really fun!

For example, yesterday we went around sharing an Easter message with people. We read part of the Living Christ to people and then talked about how we believe in a living Christ who leads and directs his church today. It was a great way to lead into the restoration. Really successful and spiritual day! I love Easter.

Okay, awesome miracle on Saturday. We met Adolfo last week and haven't been able to get in touch with him. Yesterday we didn't even have him planned to visit, but we felt like we should swing by. And he happened to be home and we got to teach him the restoration! It went so well. He understood everything and had lots of great questions. Then before we even brought it up he said he wanted to come to church with us. We were like great! And we asked if he wanted to come have a tour at the church right then. (Thank you Wade for the great idea! We did it the way you said!) He said to give him 15 min to get ready. So we ran back to the car and frantically started calling members to try to get someone to come with us (rule, and a good idea). We called 8 people and nobody was picking up. Then we said a prayer and thanked God for the wonderful lesson we just taught, for sending us to Adolfo. We told him that we have faith he can do all things, and asked that he provide a member to come with us. The next person we called answered and said she could come right then. So we picked her up and went back to Adolfo's house, and he'd put on normal church clothes! That was so cool because our investigators don't normally dress like that even on Sundays. I thought it was so sweet that he already has that reverence for being in the house of the Lord. We had the tour and it went so so well. It was amazing. He absorbed everything and asked very intelligent questions. The spirit definitely testified as we taught him about the sacrament, priesthood authority, baptism, prayer, the Book of Mormon, etc. I'm really excited to see him progress.

We've got some zone goals we're working on. Our zone leaders told us this cool thing about if you want to walk on water you have to get out of the boat. So we're working on both personal and companion goals on what we can do to get out of the boat. Awesome.

I'm so excited for general conference!!!!!!!! It's an amazing thing to know we have living prophets who lead and guide us. I love learning more about the word of God. He gives us everything we need in this life if we ask and knock in faith.

I love you all so much and am praying for you. I hope you had a great Easter!
