Happy Easter!

Good Morning! (for just a minute longer here in Georgia!) 
This week we have been truly blessed of the Lord. I am so Thankful for the opportunity that I have to be a representative of Jesus Christ! Especially at this beautiful time of the year! Easter has always been one of the best holidays. Although I won't get to meet easter roladin this year I am thankful that I get to be here and I know it is well worth the sacrifice. 
I wanted to share my testimony with each of you today. 
I have come to know my Savior in a much more personal way while I have been on my mission. I have learned about him and each day I have been able to testify of his divinity as the only begotten son of our Heavenly Father. Although I am not perfect He has given me strength to continue moving forward when I wanted to give up. I have felt the forgiveness and the peace that He brings. I have been happy, happier than I have ever been as I have had the chance to serve Him. 
I know that He died for each of us but more than that... I know that he Lives again! This knowledge has made me whole. I know that it can make each of you whole again. No matter who you are or where you are in life, know that there is peace in Christ. 
I love the Lord. I know that his kingdom has been restored to the earth again. 
I leave my testimony with you and I stand as a witness. I know through the Holy Ghost that these things are true. If you know nothing else about me... Know that I know that Christ lives! 
Yesterday we had an amazing miracle! We were able to take a sweet young women out with us. We went around to some of our investigators and then we decided to go tracting a little bit with her. We drove into this neighborhood and then we went to 1 house. The lady came out and accept the invitation to say a prayer with us. She let us into her home and we were able to teach her about the restoration and about the power of prayer! It was amazing. 
I am so blessed to be able to serve here in Cartersville! The people are humble and they have real struggles but I know the Lord loves them. I have never desired peoples happiness like I do now. 
We also met an amazing lady named Kim! She is so open to the Gospel and wants the peace that comes. She told us the other day she was waiting for us to come. She was a miracle in my life! 
The weather is getting warm here and the pollen is going crazy! Allergies are horrible around these parts. I am thankful for antihistamines! 
I hope everyone is doing well! I hope that this week is like the best week ever. I hope you all know how much I love and care about each of you. You are in my prayers each day. 
Happy Easter! 
LOVE MY FAMILY!
