HAPPY EASTER!! I am so grateful for my Savior and the sacrifice He made for all of us.
He died so that we may live. And that's the greatest message of all!
This week was awesome!
Last Monday was intense; they combined two zones to play sports and there were too many people on the court. It made me kind of nervous. But it was fun to watch. We did family history for Family Home evening for the YSA. Those who had an account were able to look at Relative Finder and see who they were related to in the Ward. I'm related to Bishop and Sister Judd, and a lot of members in the YSA Ward. It was so much fun!
We went to Joe's house to talk about his baptism, while the Elders helped clean the house. A lady named Trish taught us how to do some simple exercises so we can help an older lady do them. Trish showed me a good way to stretch my back. I sure needed that after doing so much yard work for service. We were able to do service for a member as a zone. She had a lot of weeds and we pulled out a lot of them. This area has the perfect weather to do yard work.
On Wednesday, I got to go on exchanges with Sister Posadas. She's so cute! And fun to talk to. Sister Hosea and Sister Grant got to spend the day together. They're so fun to watch. We decided that they were best friends in pre-earth life. The AP's found a new investigator for us. Sister Hosea invited her to church and she came! How awesome is that! For lunch, we celebrated Sister Uelese's birthday! She's 22! It was nice to see her again. Elder Brown got her in the face with whipped cream. She got mad at him and tried to get him back!
On Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the Temple! I learn something new every time I go. I went with Sister Sunstrom, the Relief Society President of the Branham Ward. She's so sweet! Later on we went to teach Celina. For some reason I was struggling to pronounce things that day. It was kind of funny. I said it's hard to recognize the spirit, but really I meant it's easy to recognize when you're feeling the spirit.
Saturday was so fun! We got to go to an Easter Party with the Ward. We had breakfast and the kids had an egg hunt. We invited Lilliana and her two children to come. Emily and Michael both got a lot of eggs. We also invited a mother and her two children as well, Miley and Ken. They had so much fun!
Sister Hosea and I got to see some of the Women's General Conference. I was glad we got to hear from Henry B. Eyring. He's awesome! It was a wonderful Easter Sunday. We had lunch with two families. Their children played and the adults talked. Henry gave me a Pokemon card. It is so sweet when children want to share with you something that they think is so cool! And we taught the children what Easter is really about: Christ. We talked about ways that we can follow Christ.
I am thankful for the Resurrection. When I was little and learned that Christ died on the cross, I was heartbroken! This is my best Friend we're talking about! But then I was taught that He lived again after the third day. I was happy again. The Atonement gives us peace and hope for the future. And I am thankful for my best friend and the sacrifice He made for us. I love Him with all my heart.
- Always, Sister Brown
Happy Easter!
