i know this past week was Easter and i should probably have a super spiritual subject line but oh well. i couldn't miss the opportunity! ill explain later!
but yes this past Sunday was Easter!!! and what a wonderful day it was! we had a special Sacrament meeting where it was just all music. Elder Tullis and I were able to sing a really cool rendition of I Know That My Redeemer Lives, and it was our best one yet! we sang the same song this past week at zone conference and it was pretty rough so im glad we got it all worked out by Sunday! but the primary sang the cutest song of my like called My Savior, My friend. look it up on youtube right now. it just melts my little heart. also brother martineau performed on his guitar and sang Come thou fount and it was so good! man yall Sacrament meeting was just one for the books! after church we were able to spend Easter with the martineau family and her parents who are from new york! yup! coolest accent and everything. favorite line from the night. "close, but no cigar" (said in all seriousness and accent and everything) it was awesome! told me all the local places to go when i get there and i just soaked it all in! just the kindest people you ever did meet! they made me feel like we were family and that made easter just all the better!
so like i said we also had zone conference this past week too. and on that same day we had out temple day! like how much better can it get?? all in the week of preparing for Easter! it was just a great week! the temple was amazing as always and i loved being able to go with my homie, sister winter! what a special time to be alive :) and also got to see my other homies, sis willy, sistah terry and sister pond! holla at ya girl! it was a great day!!
and im so glad we were able to have such a good day because for the next couple days i got sick and was down for the count for a couple days. it sucked. but im better now and was better in time for the cute little Easter part our ward through for all the kids! we didn't do too much but we did a little spiritual thought and handed out our favorite picture of Jesus to ALL the kids there and not one was found left on the floor which i think is an accomplishment in and of itself. is that the phrase? who knows these days...
fun moments of the week:
the cross outside of the methodist church was covered in flowers and it was beautiful so we had a photo shoot with it. yup no shame it was too pretty to pass up!
got the best packages from my family this week! one form both grandparents and one from the madre. it was so cute! we were able to decorate with the cutest butterfly banner (perfect for spring) and also got 47 packets of tapitio hot sauce! like score! hence the subject line for this week! i feel like Frankenstein from big daddy. what? i didn't just reference that movie.. okay moving on!
been working ion the courthouse like mad on my family history and was able to find my grandpa mike's and grandma toni's senior pictures from high school! how cool is that? i even found a middle school picture of one! how cute is that?!? i love working there! because that means that i get to work on my own family history as well and i have just found a love for it i didn't know was possible! it truly is a blessing being given this opportunity to work here right now!!
according to sister winter i was raised by a ufc fighter and i dont know what to think about that hahah but i guess its true so theres that!
well i hope that yall have had a blessed week and a happy easter! remember the reason why we celebrate it. He lives! and because he does, we can too! how grateful i am for that knowledge! in 3rd Nephi 17:6 Christ says, "... Behold my bowels are filled with compassion towards you." Just another aspect of His great atoning sacrifice! How grateful i am for this time to celebrate Him and all the wonderful miracles that come from His sacrifice.
love,
