Killer Weeeek!

Familia y Amigos!

How are you all doing?? This was a super good week. We got a TON done! We almost doubled our number of lessons taught! Maybe we're just really starting to get the hang of how we can work together to be most effective.

And we've been doing a lot of service for people. We actually were talking to Frances about all her animals and how she always has so much to do, so we offered and insisted that we help her with her irrigation system and with the animals. It was super fun! She has probably 20 different types of birds and a ton of chickens. So we collected eggs and helped feed them. I can cross off "collect an egg JUST laid by a chicken and still wet" off my bucket list. Hah! Then after, she fed us lunch. You could tell she had just gone shopping and bought a bunch of food to make this special for us. She even bought each of us a chocolate bunny for easter! She is such a sweetheart. She collects broaches and pins, so we got her one from the thrift shop in Kuna. You could tell it just made her day!

A huge part of missionary work is showing people love in any way possible. But not just through being an example. By ACTING. And when you love the gospel and have a desire to share it (and not let excuses get in the way), the acting part will become natural. That is one huge thing I've learned this week. Being an example isn't enough. It's a big part, for sure, but that's not all. EVERYONE can be a missionary. Showing love and caring about others is where it's at. DOING things for people. And another thing is sincerely praying for missionary opportunities and for the missionaries. I totally have a testimony that prayer works. When we need something, and ask for it, Heavenly Father will bless us.

ALSO, this week we got permission to go on facebook because of an AMAZING easter video that the church has come out with. If you haven't heard of it already, it's called "Because of Him." It's on mormon.org. It's truly beautiful. And please repost it on any social media. Everyone needs to see it. :)

You all are awesome and I hope things go well for you this next week!

Con amor,
