Because my dad wasn't there on Sunday morning to sing this song like he usually does I had to do it to keep tradition, "Oh what a beautiful MOOOORning, oh what a beautifull DAYYYY I've got a wonderful FEEELLLIIINNGGG EVERything's GOIng my WAYYYYY!!!!!!!" Happy Easter, and what a Happy Easter it was!!!
We have had so many great experiences but I have to get going cause today is packed so this will be a little short!!! Lo siento!
This Easter was incredible!!! We had stake conference Easter weekend and it was amazing! Elder Michael John U. Teh (a member of the 1st quorum of the 70) came. He is one of the Seventies who spoke in Gen. Conference:) As we were listening to him at the Saturday Night Session for some reason I began to fantasize if he were to ask for a volunteer to go up and speak on something I said to myself, I would share this recent experience, "only if he asks for a full-time missionary to do it THEN I will do it." They were beginning to show a video then there were some technical difficulties, so in improvisation he asked to a full-time missionary companionship to come up. I smiled and thought how funny and peculiar the spirit is in preparing us to do things! Elder Boothe and I went up and he asked what our thoughts feelings and experiences are and have been ever since "the work was hastened." We told the story about how we found Janet and how the spirit truly does prepare people for us to teach, and invite. The Lord has prepared us, and the Lord has prepared them. All we have to do is act on what the spirit tells us to do. Elder Teh said, "Our job is to keep up with the work as it is hastened." I LOVE IT!!! Because surely it will move on regardless!!! It is up to us if we want to keep up!! And that is what is expected of ALL of us!!
Stake conference was an incredible experience!! Elder Teh is an amazing man and he loves the Lord and he loves this work! Being able to speak a long side him was a tender moment! Elder Boothe is a stud!!! I love this kid and we are really finding success!!
YES, Easter Sunday was also incredible!! Amazing that we started with conference in the morning again but then we didn't have a too productive day planned because nobody wanted to schedule anything for then and nobody wants us to knock on their door ha ha...so we had dinner with an amazing family!! The K's! Super Cool! Then to another members house who had their less active brother over. Turns out they also had their neighbors over who weren't members but wondered about Mormons. We talked and they asked what we do. We explained and ended up sharing a message and they really want us to stop by sometime soon to teach!!! Also the Cornetts who we stopped teaching because they got too busy for us showed up and we shared a message with them too!! It was so cool!!! They are wanting to meet regularly now so we are stoked!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! THE EASTER BOX WAS AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE EVERY BIT OF IT! I HAVE BEEN STUDYING THE SYMBOLISM IN THE SCRIPTURES HANDOUTS LIKE CRAZY!!! THERE IS AMAZING STUFF TUCKED AWAY WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THESE!!! Elder Boothe and I have been talking about how we want to understand all of that stuff and you TOTALLY heard the spirit send that message to you and sent EXACTLY what we needed!! Thanks also to Pops and Brothers for the Bomb Eggs! I am loving all the scriptures and the toys are all being well used haha!! Elder boothe broke one on accident and we are all having a ball anyway! The toys always have a short life span and it keeps things in perspective, they are temporal anyway :)! Oh, my ties and pocket squares SO TOTALLY ROCK!!!!
There are so many things to be grateful for and I can't name them all, my family, my mission, my companions thus far, my mission President, the servants who serve, Christ my Lord and Redeemer, and every single example that I have to follow in righteousness just to name a few. So good to hear the family is staying so close!! Families are essential and Satan has been attacking them for centuries. The Lord knows how to combat it. That is what this gospel is for. it pains me to see people view the gospel as a pain and a burden, when in fact "it is wings that lift us." keep in mind, "you can tell true Christians by their buoyancy."
That sounds like an incredible Cardiff Sacrament meeting! I love the ones when you get to cry the whole time!! I also wish I could have been there for that meeting with Elders Ballard, Maines and Sabin dad! that sounds incredible!! we actually got a big visit and push to do the same by elder Michael John U. Teh for stake conference! I am so glad I now have a fixed date to meet Tiffany AND Elder Holland!?! Cant wait till May and all the things happening for Tiffany and Elder Holland?!?! WHAT!? You know das right. ;)!!!
I know this gospel is the true word of God! the flaming sword of the word of God protects, uplifts, and leads us back to our father in heaven. I love the feeling of learning. I love the knowledge and light I receive! I love having the opportunity to serve and love as He, our Lord omnipotent, does for us. it's a hard long and slow learning curve... way worse then snowboarding, but that is where we find it's worth!
I LOVE THIS GOSPEL WITH ALL MY HEART AND I LOVE THESE PEOPLE IN OHIO TOO!! it is fun fun to testify, and learn and just have a blast learning how i can be better!!!
Fight the fight, stay the course, keep the Faith!!

Love,
Elder Triple Trouble Trey WHAT!? You know das right!
