Easter!

Easter Testimony
Especially it was easter yesterday a day to remember our Lord, Savior, Redeemer, Jesus Christ that he LIVES! That I know he loves each and everyone of us. He has felt our sorrows, our pain, lonliness, and every other discomfort that we have felt and will feel. He knows what each of you are going through and as we go to him and that through the atonement we can feel peac, love, and joy. I know he will always be there to help us in the diffult times. That I know that everyone will be resurrected and we all will return to our Heavenly Father's presence and as families forever. That we can pray to our Heavenly Father and he will answer you and will guide you throughout your life. As long as we search, ponder, pray wilth real intent and sincere heart believing that we will recieve it will be given to us but we got to listen that is what I am working on. When we usually pray, we say it and then we end it and we are on our way but we have to stop and listen to that still small voice that will touch the heart. He might not answer right away but he will answer you as you continue to search, read, pray, and listen.

Easter Miracles
On easter I made the frog eye salad it turned out pretty good but it could of been better. On easter we did some tracting and we taught this person that we tracted into two weeks ago and the lesson was so good, the spirit was so strong. At the end she was teary eyed. She is so grateful that she met us. She is going through a hard time but she commited to be baptized at the beginnin of next month becasue she wants to wait for her son to get back so she can be baptized when he does. Oh yeah we found her during the hour of power before that me and my companion each prayed into different rooms were we needed to tract and we came up with Broadway street and that is where we found Christine our investigator that is getting baptized in the beginning of next month. She is a stay home mom. she is white. I dont think that she works. All her kids have moved out. She is about in her late forty's. She just moved from Florida.

Another miracle that we have seen this past week is we were going to contact a potential invesstigator but they were not home and we saw a couple of people sitting outside on the porch so we decided to talk to them and we found out tha this one guy was more interested than any of them. We started to teach him and he said he was praying for somewhere to go to church and that he can get his life back in straight. the lesson was good, the spirit was strong and he believed everything we taught so the second time we went over there we commited him to be baptized which he accepted which is going to be at the end of the month. He said that he will stop smoking cold turkey without the smoking lesson that we usually teach people. We did give him a priesthood blessing and he has not smoked for a week now, He came to church yesterday and he liked it. he was paying attention real close. Oh yeah his name is Lester Thomas he is a black guy in his late fifty's. He does not work, he is very down to earth person loves to read the bible.

General Conference Week

Cool Finding Story & Mormon Messages
We had another cool story we were riding our bikes to an appointment and this black guy stopped us and started to talk to us, we asked him why he stopped us? He said that he felt he needed to stop us and to talk to us? He said that he lives with his mom so he is pretty lonely and he is really glad that he met with us. He is so excited that there is a prophet on the earth today. Not that many people knows that there is a prophet on the earth today. I am so grateful for that knowledge and that we get to hear from the prophet and apostles every six months. By the way general conference was way good. I really liked the saturday morning session there was a lot of good talks. I liked Uctdorfs talk when he said just STOP IT! that was funny. We had a investigator come to priesthood meeting and to the sunday afternoon session we did invite other investigators but they did not show up. Next week it is Easter. A time to think about the savior and about his resurrection. I love this video it is a mormon message. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXrOG02NMB0&feature=player_embedded and this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpFhS0dAduc&feature=player_embedded Roy our investigator is getting baptized this Saturday which we are excited. this branch has not had a baptism for awhile.
