Email 4/8/13

I absolutely loved conference. I realized that being at home and listening to it I never really gained anything because I would be doing something else. This time I went with a question and it was answered. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to listen to the Prophet and Apostles. Yes she has been in for a long time. I was sad to see her released, but these new sisters well be good. I can not wait for the ensign as well because we did not get to see the Sunday afternoon session. They all have wonderful stories. You could send me one if you want. 
 
The miracles we had last week were just that we were able to had out Books of Mormon every day. And we have quite a few potential Investigators now. We will be calling by them this week. We also received a bunch of referrals from members. It has been quite a busy week. One of the miracles was that we were walking down a street and Sister Clawson had a feeling to knock on a door, but decided that we could keep walking and if we walked by it again and she still had that feeling we would knock. So we came back around and she still had that feeling so we knocked on the door. He was not interested. As we were walking away from the door we ran in to a young man and his two adorable kids. We started talking to him and he had never heard of Mormons. We told him how families can be together forever and he told us that we could come by sometime. He showed us where he lived. The next day we went and knocked on his door. No body answered. So we left a little discouraged. We went and talked to some other people and later I had a feeling that we really should go back. We went back and his mother answered the door. She had been crying because her daughter was in the hospital. It is this mans sister. So we asked if we could do anything. She said no. So I asked for her and her daughters name and told her that we would keep them in our prayers. A few days later we saw this man again in another part of town. He was in his car and we waved at us. We both feel that we really need to teach this family.
 
I just studied the last week of Christ life in Matt.,  Mark, Luke, and John. It is the last few chapters in each. It was a great experience to be able to study that at Easter. I want to do that every year now. It really does make a difference in Easter. 
 
It has been absolutely beautiful weather this week. The sun has been out and it has been quite warm. Just a little chill. I have been able to walk around without my jacket on. ;) 
 
I am glad that you liked the package and that it got to you!!!! Thank you for that package as well. I love the granola!!!!!!!!!! The pictures are cute. But where are the family ones???;) How am i supposed to show people my wonderful amazing family. I only have the really old one.
 
I love the view of the ocean. The other day we saw a castle and it was magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wales has really found a special place in my Heart.
 
It has been a little tough this past week, but I am doing alright.
 
Love you tons
