And I Beheld a Fish and Also an Emu

I don't even know how to start this email guys. What a week!

Well I mean first of all LETTY AND DIANA ARE GETTING BAPTIZED! AHHHHHHH! It is so amazing although Satan has been trying to stop it from happening at every turn. Hahahaha little does he know we aren't going to let that happen. It will be truly amazing to see them enter into that font and take a closer step to being an eternal family.

Also I got to go on exchanges twice this week! I was high key terrified of having to lead my area and being the only Spanish speaker but wow what a day of miracles! We plan everyday in the morning and I was in charge of planning out the day since Sister Sorenson doesn't know my area. Never before have I prayed so hard for the Lord to guide me....while 45 min into the planning (usually 30 min) and I wasn't really feeling that guidance. But guys...the Lord answers prayers. We did not do one single thing that I planned...I mean nothing...lunch...dinner...study time. At the end of the day as we were running around I had the thought to visit a referral we had gotten. Before we knew it we were on their couch and I taught a complete lesson in Spanish. Like I understood everything that was said and they understood everything they said. We walked out of that lesson in awe and completely humbled. God answers our prayers just not how we really expect them to be answered. It definitely showed me that this is His work.

My other exchange was with Hermana Weyand in her area and she is hilarious. We had a blast and preached the gospel too! I also had the opportunity to eat a fish..like as it was staring at me. It was hard and I felt guilty but he was pretty delicious so as long as I didn't look at his eye I was able to do it. Also I got to spend the night with Sister Norgrant which brought back the good old college days.

Easter was also a blessed day...I mean like first of all Jesus!! (HE LIVES AND LOVES ALL OF YOU) and also FIVE OF OUR INVESTIGATORS CAME TO CHURCH. Of course two could only come at different times in the morning so we ended up going to 5 hours of church but it was awesome! I almost cried when Hugo walked into the chapel because he NEVER comes. It was our Easter miracle for sure.

I know our Savior lives. This is something that has brought me such peace in my life and I am so thankful that my Heavenly Brother died for me. Through Him we can have eternal families and live again.

I would add funny moments but I don't remember! This week was truly a blur! I did see an Emu so that was exciting!

To the moon and back!
