HELLO!!!!!!!

Bunny Easter cake someone made for us

 Family and friends happy Easter to you all!! I hope that your Easter holiday was all that you had hoped that it would be! Life here in Washington is good and yesterday was such an amazing day!  I am so grateful for Easter. It is and amazing time to reflect how much our Savior and Brother has done for us each individually. I have never appreciated his sufferings for each of us as much as I have this year. Yesterday as I was sitting in church I just had an overwhelming feeling of love and understanding. HE LOVES US! He wants us to be happy and he wants to help us when we are suffering, How amazing! I have come to understand that he is my Savior and YOUR savior too! Heavenly Father has given us so much and the greatest thing that he has given us is his Son. John 11:25-26 has become one of my favorite after yesterday. I know that through Him we will all be able to be resurrected and see each other again. that brings me a lot of peace and comfort knowing that death will not separate me from the ones that I love! Like you! I have taken the invitation from conference to read the Living Christ and I have come to know that it is so important to have a testimony that he lives and love us each! This Gospel is so good!

 This week we had Zone training! It was super good. One of our Zone leaders is from mesa AND he went to Mountain View! What are the odds?! Crazy! We talked a lot about finding and teaching by the spirit. We found examples in the scriptures of people teaching by the spirit and why it is important to do that! I met one of our investigators named Sammi. She is 17yrs old. She is chomping at the bit to get baptized but her parents want her to wait until she is 18. She grew up atheist and it’s amazing to see her progression in her testimony. She is amazing :) She is a barrel racer and she does drill at the rodeos around Washington. She is SUPER good. We get sidetracked sometimes when we go over because she will start talking to me about it and the conversation goes way off topic... I’m working on that :) 

The other day a woman in Graham ward leaned over to me and patted my cheek and said, " I sure do love you and I’m so grateful you’re here in this ward." I was almost in tears. These people have such a sweet spirit! There are two recent converts, a grandmother and grandson, in the Graham ward as well! Their names are Mary and Jason. These two are the sweetest humans! Mary has been through a lot and is now taking care of Jason. We go over often and do service and have short lessons with her. She has such a strong testimony and I love seeing it grow! 

 I love it here! It’s so green and the trees are beautiful and the people are characters! I LOVE IT! I’m so grateful that my heavenly father has sent me here! Ya’ll are amazing!! I’ll talk to you all soon!
