He Lives

Он воскрес

истина, Он воскрес

A common greeting around  his time of year in Ukraine. 

What another good week. 

Just to let you all know about the weather here, it is snowing. It is snowing a lot! 

Last week we were walking down road forever not sure exactly where we were, people were yelling at us shouting rude things haha, least to say we were not feeling it. Then we saw this lady on her porch and we asked if she wanted to watch a video about Easter, at first she said no then after taking to her and having her understand our beliefs a little more she said yes, and then her husband watches it. Super nice people and we have an appointment with them this week. Then we saw some motels across the street and we knocked on the first door, these people were using heavy drugs, they said they were atheist, my companion said meh lets just go. I said one more and behind the door was Jeff a super less active member, he said he just got done praying for direction then we knocked on his door. His wife is coming back from rehab and it was a really neat experience to meet him. 

Luis family is progressing alright, the Irwins are doing awesome and are ready for their baptism Saturday. We also taught these two boys, who their parents aren't active, at their grandparents house, they seem pretty solid. 

I loved General conference! The power and authority at they have is wonderful. I know that we have a living prophet on the earth today and the quorum of the 12 apostles really have been called of God. Just a few main points of what I really enjoyed/learned, 

Live the law of the fast, take root and be converted, have an eternal perspective, if we fear we are lacking faith, families,marriage is important (scary to think about but it's gonna be here sooner than later haha), dance to the music, be a saint (a sinner who keeps on trying), follow the Son, seek the kingdom of God, have righteous desires, grace, power of the priesthood is important, labor today, Jesus Christ and how he grabs onto our wrists as we are falling to our death (heart racer), build your life on our covenants, keep the sabbath day holy. 

During the last session of general conference we got to watch it with Ruth, the less active lady we tracted into last week, she really enjoyed it. Sister Cik came with us, and we are glad she did, she's a great fellowshipper. 

We did this thing Easter week from helives.mormon.org. Got to understand his life and atonement a little better. I was reading something about the sacrament and atonement and I thought about the sacrament and how there is broken bread  like his broken skin, he can enable us cause he has felt it all, the water, his blood, his suffering in Gethsemane so we can be redeemed. Cool thing I realized this week. I love this time of year.

Love you all and hope you have a great week!!
