Transfer 3 Week 4

Well hey there everyone, crazy seeing you here. I hope that you all had an awesome Easter and that you got to think about what the meaning of it is. For us out here in the mission, well we had a good time as well,  just probably a little less hunting for eggs and a little more taking notes at General Conference.

If you don’t know what General Conference is it's when the leaders of our church give talks and messages and we all get to watch and listen from all across the world. Well my district, we all got together and went to a church building, pulled all the couches and big comfy chairs we could find into a classroom, with a big pile of snacks and watched it on a cell phone and I took a huge like 8 pages worth of notes. It was a really, really good time. One of my favorite talks was by our Prophet President Nelson and he spoke a lot about faith. But I really loved one line, he said, "the atonement of Jesus Christ has changed all of our lives forever" which I thought was so true. Because of Christ, we will always be able to repent and change for the better.

Also today, p-day, our mission President, President Call, rented out a movie theater for us and we got to go see "The Lamb of God" which was like a big musical performance and show thing with instruments and singing that told the story of Christ's last week before he was crucified, and then after the resurrection. It was very cool; the music was amazing and we all really enjoyed it.

Funny thought: my companion Elder Blackwell and I snuck 16 inch Jimmy John's sandwiches into the movie theater (I made sure to wear my trench coat to sneak them as efficiently as possible) and we tried to really sneakily eat these massive sandwiches. Also if you have never been to a sandwich place, they wrap them in multiple pieces of really big, really loud pieces of paper. So once we were done with these sandwiches we didn’t know what to do with the paper. So we had to wait for the moments where the music got really loud and tried to crumple it up super fast. I wasn't fast enough, the music stopped and I waited with a half crumpled sandwich paper until the next time the music got really loud, then I finished and put it away.

Spiritual thought: Easter, because of Christ and his resurrection we know that death is not the end of our journeys. We also know that before Christ's death he paid and suffered for our sins. We are able to repent of our sins through the power of Christ’s Atonement and become clean.

Well everyone I love you all and Jesus loves you more. Take care and stay swag
