How was your week?! Ours was good! First of all, I made a mistake last week. Correction. The website for the new video is called helives.mormon.org and the video is called Because He Lives. It's really awesome! Share it in every way you can!
So this week, we went to this lady's house to help her and to sew a little bit on Hna. Hernandez's scripture case that didn't fit. As we did, I took a few scrap pieces and fixed up my potato-sack case. There were parts that were falling apart. I decided I'm going to call my case Frankenstein. First of all, it has green lining. Also, when I patched it up, it had stitching like Frankenstein. I don't mind. I love it, all used and well-loved.
Also yesterday, we, Hna Hernandez and I, taught the 3rd hour Sunday school class. It was the 5th Sunday, so the bishop asked us to be in charge of teaching the adults. There are 4 companionships of missionaries in our ward, 2 of them taught the youth about missionary work and gave them calls and showed the #becausehelives video and everything. Then the other had to go to an english ward to do something and couldn't get out of it. So we were in charge of teaching the adults all by ourselves. It was exciting. We started off talking about the Atonement and what that means for us. About how easter is celebrating Christ's resurrection. Then we showed the video and talked about how we can share it. We had prepared a lot and then didn't get to finish it all. We talked about how this is an amazing message and how precious it is for us. Then we gave them all pearls on a string, to hang in their cars or wherever, as a reminder to share this treasure. It went really well.
Seriously, the gospel is amazing. It's so much more than "just a church" that you join to go on Sundays and feel good about yourself. But it really is a change of life. It gives purpose and Jesus Christ's atonement REALLY does help us. I love that. He really did live, die, and resurrect, so that we all can. He did that amazing miracle so that we can all have the opportunity for ourselves.
Thanks so much for all the support and I hope you all have an amazing easter week! I can't wait to hear what you thought about General Conference!
Con mucho amor,

I put my nametag on and then wrapped myself in a blanket to study. I get up and this is how it ended up.
The couple who teach the english class in Nampa. They are kinda crazy... In the best way possible.
We attempted to make flour tortillas... But we didn't remember how...
