Happy Easter!!

Heyyy! How are you doing?? I hope you had a great Easter:) 

This week was really good! Transfers were last week, and I got a new companion....her name is....SIster Laws!  She is a blast! 

so monday, it was packing day for sister dyson while I was preparing the room for the new sister...and we went to visit a few people before she left paradise so she could say goodbye to them- it was super busy! But it was a good one:)  She is now in Roseville, for the remainder of her mission( she has 2 months left). Crazy how fast time goes! 

An older sister in the ward. sister Holmes,  was willing to take us down to antelope, and that was about a two hour drive down and up- so most of our day on tuesday was traveling and it was a crazyy day- sister laws was able to meet up and at 6pm, then off we went to paradise and we were on a adventure! we got back home by 9pm then went to bed after planning. It was a long day. 

Oh, and guess what?!?! I am now driving....been out for about 7 months and I'm not on the passenger side anymore haha those 7 months have gone fast! The truck drives fantastic! Seriously, I feel like such a champ driving a truck while the elders have cars..it's pretty cool :) 

We did however get a chance to spend the day with Sister Holmes and get to know her better! It was so good :)  

And sister laws was able to settle in too! She has been out for 9 months, and is such fun to be around. She has such a big heart and desire to serve the lord! Good things are going to happen in this area! I can feel it! 

 Wednesday, thursday, and friday were really good! We had lessons with some of our investigators like Michelle and Ashley! They love coming to church, and we had a great lesson with them! Ashley, the daughter wants to be baptized in June! So we set a date for her to be baptized on June 7th, then set up another time to meet with them this coming week! We were very blessed that day! They also went to church on Easter sunday too with a family in the ward :) yay! They loved it! 

   Saturday we were busyy! We were visiting with some of the members in the ward...just asking them if we could help and also sharing a video that that church has produced for Easter with our Ipad- It's called "Because of him" ...IT IS SO GOOD! like seriously, Sister Laws and I, have been sharing that with so many people and watching it alot. After showing the video, we were able to show them how to "share" it with their friends, then recieved a referral and some people we could go see too! The Lord has blessed us with wonderful members in the ward who are so missionary minded! That was exactly what we needed and we were lead by the spirit to see those we needed too. It was such a cool day:) 

It amazes me just how simple the Lord puts it " Ask and ye shall recieve, knock and it shall be opened unto you" - there is so much that the lord does for us and all he has ever asked us to do is simply ask! He answered my prayer as to what we could do to best use the time we have to visit those we needed to see. It was so cool to see just exactly how the lord gives us answers as we seek them out- he truly does answer our prayers. We can all have those experience everyday! I am a firm believer of prayer- it is the best way to talk to our Heavenly Father:) 

Sunday was wonderful because we had the chance to celebrate the Saviors Resurrection! The spirit was so strong at church! We had 6 of our investigators at church, and 2 LA's, which was pretty good considering that most of the families( and most of the people we teach) in the ward were out of town and those people that came all loved church and made time to come! It was a miracle! 

John, and Lisa Ludlow came as well as the two little girls getting baptized this coming saturday, Emily and Kylie! 

They had their baptismal interview after church, and did so well :) 

They are getting so excited for their baptism, and we are going to meet with them twice this week and everything is ready to go for the baptism! 

This monday was pretty good! It;s been a relaxed day and we are loving paradise! 

I hope you all have gotten a chance to see that video-  it is really good! If you haven't seen it yet- WATCH IT. It's a really cool video to share with your friends too! 

 I also hope you had a great Easter Sunday:) I love you all and pray for you all daily:) 

Until Next week, 

Sister Nicole Matchett :)
