Easter Week

(Elder Slade)

This week was a blur. To be honest I don't remember much of what happened. We had 24 member lessons, 8 of which were yesterday. But miracles do happen! On Wednesday we found a new person to teach, and we put two people on date for baptism! Especially when you we are stuck inside all the time, it's good to see some fruits of our labors. Another highlight this week, was when someone we are teaching called us persistent and cute. That's two compliments I'll take anyday.

Easter was amazing this week. Some member gave us a lot of candy and food (story of my life) but that's not what made it great. What made it great was reading about the life of Jesus Christ in the scriptures and sharing about him and his Atonement in all the lessons we taught. President Nelson said, "Jesus Christ came to pay a debt He didn’t owe because we owed a debt we couldn’t pay.” he died for each of us. So that we all might live again. Even though hard things happen, even though our futures might be uncertain, or loved ones might pass away, the hope of Easter is that all things that are unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

The amount of love Jesus Christ has for us and individuals is hard to comprehend. I hope you are able to feel that love. It reminds me of a book, The Count of Monte Cristo. The main character says he doesn't believe in God, and a priest responds "That doesn't matter, because he believes in you."

I want you all to know that I love you all and so does Jesus Christ.

How did the Potato Horse run?
It scalloped! Sorry. I'm running out of good jokes. Though some might say, they were never good in the first place. Which I am sincerely offended by. Just kidding.

Pictures (Sorry, it wasn't too eventful of a week, so there's no many):
1. My mom made us some masks, so if I get Corona, it's her fault. Jk, I love you mom!
2. Out on our run
3. On P-days and before I go to bed, I am learning how to play the guitar
