Hey family

Well its been a great week and a week of learning for me. I feel like
the lord has given me a lot of opportunities to learn in these last
few days. I cannot believe how fast the time is flying by. I feel like
I just started this transfer last week and we are already almost
ending it! Time in the mission is such a strange thing. I was able to
have some really cool experiences this week in my studies and also in
apply a lot of the things that the prophets taught us in conference. I
love that we are so blessed to learn from them and apply the things we
learn to our lives each individually. I have been going over my notes
and studying some of them and have gained great treasures of knowledge
just like the scriptures promise us we can receive. Its an amazing
thing when we use our faith and agency in the right way and the lord
blesses us. 
We had the great oppotunity to teach a few families this
week and we are really excited about them. We will be working with
them a lot more this week. We are teaching English in the church to
some of our investigators and others and we are having sucess with
that. Its been cool to see the Lord help us reach out to people in a
different way. I was able to bear my testimony often this week about
Jesus Christ and the importance of this gospel in my life. I was
sitting in a lesson listening to some investigators talk about their
lives etc. and as I testified about the things I have learned through
the gospel I couldn´t help but try to imagine my life without the
gospel.....I couldn´t do it. It has litterally become part of who I
am. What a great knowledge it is to know that God is our Heavenly
Father and that Jesus Christ died for each one of us so that we could
live again. I am so greatful for that knowledge especially in this
easter season when we remember him even more. I love being out here
and teaching people about this message and seeing this faces light up
and gain more hope and faith when they pray for the first time or bear
testimony to us. I am sure God feels the same way for each one of us.
This week I am going to be trying to make lots of changes again. I
just love changing and the mission is such a great place to do it. It
is the only way in progressing and becoming more like the savior and I
have so much to change. But I love you all and hope you all had a
wonderful Easter. Keep putting the Lord first and looking for his hand
in every moment.....you will find it.

Lots of Love.
