Easter Weekend!

1st there will be 2 recordings again. So many exciting things to talk about! 
Monday- Pday. We went to point lobos in carmel. BEAUTIFUL!!!  and then for FHE we had a snowball fight with the ysa. You take flour and put it in nylons and then throw it at each other. you should see the church parking lot. it looks like a battlefield. hahaha
Tuesday- Transfer Day! good thing neither of us got transfered! Though pretty much everyone else did. hahaha In the big new of transfers we now have Elder Sonenstalh in our ysa ward with Elder Hardy (elder mcintyre got transfered) and then Elder Black who served with me in Pleasanton is my new ZL! So this should be fun! except that Elder Sonesntalh and hardy are pretty much the same person and I have a feelling we will be babysitting them. me on the phone " elders, what are you doing... you have another orange dont you??" them "laughing and no...." me-"Elders do not roll that orange down that hill!!!" So you know its bad when even the mission president walks up to them and says "whose Idea was this? this is an accident waiting to happen!" hahaha so this should be a fun trnasfer! also we had a lesson with Mary! she is awesome! except that her friend taylor has taught her everything so now we just review. Oh well!!! more fun! hahaha 
Wednesday- Really busy day, full of lessons and life. 
Thursday- We saw Nael again! he is the guy from Jordan. He rocks. I am learing Arabic from him. And I am just confusing him more when it comes to english. Note to self... saying illusion to someone who barely speaks english is not a good idea. 
Friday-this day rocked!! so we helped a lady named Michelle with moving. she isnt a member but works at a place that we do service. Anywho its grreat. She already has our guest rooms ready for us when we come back to visit. So... ill be in carmel for a while family... sorry :)
Then she took us out to dinner that night at this place called Demetras. its awesome. ITs mediteranian food and so much fun!!! I will also be going back there. 
Sautrday-BAPTISM DAY!!! so Nichelle and Naomi Mabini got baptized!!! it was soo fun!!! they were so cute and excited!! and Sister Neff and sister Stegelmieyer who also served here got to come back for it! it was so much fun!!! The girls were glowing and Naomi was like "I felt the spirit!" Love it. then that night we had a movie night wiht the missionaries and watched Mtn of the Lord. Mary and Taylor slept. So the missionaries watched Mtn of the lord. hahaha oh well! 
Sunday was Easter! So good. Love this holiday! Church was awesome, Mary Sang and did wonderfully and then we had dinner in Carmel and then off to scripture study where we talked with Taylor Tamacori and being a missionary rocks. 
So the cool thing is that on youtube the church bought the ad space and put up this video called "because of him" anywho if you havent seen it, go watch it, its really good!
But they were saying in relief society that there was a girl that was hastaging everything with because of him and I thought about how cool that was! 
So I never really bare my testimony in these emails so I will now proceed to do that somewhat. :)
Easter is so amazing! we get to celebrate the life of our savior and the fact that he lives today. as I have been on a mission I have seen people change everything because they have gained that relationship with our savior and I cant even begin to tell you how blessed I have been to witness them grow closer to him. But even more I have seen how blessed I have been to grow up knowing that the savior has always been there for me. Because of him I can do anything. Because of him I am now helping others feel of his love, because of him I can continue through this life and one day return to my father in heaven. and Because of him I will live again. because of him I know this church is true.
Well everyone I love you all, have a wonderful week and I will talk to you all next week!!
