Happy Easter! 

April 2nd 2018

I hope you all had a great conference and Easter weekend!  Its always such an amazing opportunity to listen to the words of a living prophet.  I encourage you all to continue studying these talks over the next six months until the next conference, because these talks are literally the words of the lord. Was here, he would have told us the things we heard this weekend.  

   I haven't written in a couple weeks so ill update you guys a little bit about whats been going on!  We had changes last week, and Elder Leija and I are still together!  I also got called as a district leader!  Its gonna be a great opportunity to serve the other elders.   

   We have some awesome investigators, first we have José and Elisa.   What really caught their attention is how we talk about how families can be together forever.  We had a lesson with them in the church on Friday then they came to conference with us on Sunday!  It was amazing to have them there, way better for investigators to listen to a prophets voice than mine haha. 

   Last night we were contacting, and we found an amazing couple.  They knew more about the bible than us, but they don't go to any churches.  They say they are observers of religion or something like that.  We taught them the restoration, and the husband had the scriptures memorized that we were sharing with him.  He knew about the restoration and he knew it was going to happen, and he was so excited when we shared with him that the original church that Christ established, has been restored.   He believed everything we told him, and he was talking about how Joseph smith really was a prophet, we gave them a book of Mormon and they were really excited to read it.  Ill let you guys know what happens with them because they seem really promising.  

   I hope you guys all have a great week, always remember to do the small and simple things, they make a huge difference over time!!
