Easter Sunday

What a special week it has been during this Easter Season. Elder Wilkerson and I loved to go around and talk with everyone about Christ and invite them to watch the video, Hallelujah. That is something that I love about Georgia, almost everyone believes in Christ and will talk about Him openly. One lady was sitting on her front porch with her Laptop so we were able to watch the video right there with her. Her little kids gathered around and we talked about our Savior. He suffered "the pains of all men." (2 Nephi 9:21) No matter who we are or where we come from. He suffered for us and He rose from the dead for us. It is so wonderful to be able to share that message with the world.

We saw the Nunez family twice last week. Jacob said he had a dream that he was dressed in white and I pushed him in the water. Cindy told us that she has made up her mind for sure and that she wants to be baptized. Rebecca said, "the sooner the better." But we were still concerned about the fact that they have had such a hard time going to church. So we focused a little bit more on the Mom this week, because if Mom decides she wants to go to church then everyone will go to church. And sure enough they all came to church!

A deer hit me. We saw deer crossing the road so I slowed down. One jumped out, I slammed the brakes and he ran right into the side of the car, turned around and ran back into the woods. It was scary but kinda funny. Didn't put a dent in the car but he did leave some hair and a little slobber.

I can't wait for General Conference!

Spring time, Repentance

This past week has been a great week! I still feel extremely tired, but that's a good thing. There is just always something to do, but that's what makes life interesting and fun.

Elder Wilkerson and I are exercising hard in the morning and eating well. I love to make salads. I fell healthy and happy. The Nunez didn't come to church again. But we had a great lesson with them. I still love the scriptures. It literally snows pollen in Georgia. I love to see all the trees change colors, so beautiful!

I love being a missionary. I love the opportunity to testify of Christ. I know he lives. He is our Savior. He bore our sins and afflictions. Because of Him we will all live again. All of us! Because of Him death has no sting. Because of Him we can be clean. We can repent. We can be perfected. Because of Him we can find joy. I know He lives!

We had a Zone Conference on the topic of Repentance on Wednesday. There have been times throughout my mission where I felt like Repentance was a burden. I didn't want to focus on it because I thought it would bring me down. I felt like I was just noticing on all the bad things I was doing and becoming depressed. But as we talked on Wednesday I realized how my perspective had changed. Repentance is a blessing. How great is it to know that we can truly change and be forgiven. If there is something in our lives that takes away the peace of the spirit, then we can change it. Repentance is that change. That change makes us happy. Repentance is a gift given to us so that we can be happy. Isn't it amazing how Satan can make something so beautiful seem so scary and harmful.

Have a great week!

#Hallelujah

Elder Wilkerson

My new companion is Elder Wilkerson. He is from Southern Utah. He's been on the mission for 5 months and I'm very impressed with his Spanish. It's pretty fun to have a companion with so much motivation to learn Spanish. He loves basketball and we share a lot of similar interests. He's kinda quiet but very diligent. I'm super excited for this transfer.

love yall!
