Okay, so sorry for not emailing last week it was spring break so every place to email was closed. We have been doing good. Its been nice and warm here. I love it but don't at the same time. We have slowed down a little bit on finding people to teach. We need to focus on actually teaching the people we have found but we have had some very serious discussions with a lot of people. Its funny how bold you can get with people when you care about what you have to share with them.
We have been doing soooo much service with a super awesome guy who hasn't been to church in forever. He came last Sunday it was awesome! He is a cool guy he showed us (we didn't touch or fire them in anyway shape or form) his guns. He had like 9 they where sweet! I think one was illegal but who cares it the rez....lol.
A girl we where trying to talk too was a little rude she was ignoring us at first then I went to pet a dog that was barking and she said it was going to bite me (mixed with some choice words). But it didn't.... it liked me ha!!! I showed that lady!! But we teach like everyone that lives around here so she better get used to us.
We helped a guy out with some trash and we found some super old Gatorade bottles so that was neat and I got to stab a couch at the dump. It was very satisfying. Another lady told us we can’t use the Book of Mormon when we teach her so yeah, but we will keep trying. We will have to stop teaching her the Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion. My ponderize scripture is Alma chapter 7 which is way to long but its a good chapter especially verses 10-16. that counts for last week to since its so long.

Hey guys! I got the one package for ST Patrick's day but we aren't going to Winslow this week cuz we don't have a ton of miles. But its nice cuz that gives us 2 extra hours of whatever we want because we wont have to drive so far. I did get a slip for a package of the 25th and Ill pick it up next Monday.
I have some sweet pictures and I’ll be sending them home today. We found some cool stuff. Are you guys sending the other SD card back? I have been thinking of Mexico a lot lately just because it keeps coming up while talking to people. That was a lot of fun. I am curios as to what Ian will choose for his trip. Anyway, this week was weird in fact every week is weird when your on the rez. I have so many stories that just make no sense. This week was so so so windy Tuesday, Friday and today are crazy I had to pull over at one point because I couldn't see anything it was so cool. My eyes hurt though. We got to chase some sheep into the sheep pen this week. It was sweet they liked us too. They let us pet them it was fun.
This Easter was awesome! The video the church has, the one that says hallelujah a lot, is so awesome. We got to share that with people and we also shared Mosiah 16:7-10 it was good and it helped us focus on Christ.
Hallelujah means “praise ye the Lord”. So with that in mind, the video has a lot more meaning and now every time you say hallelujah remember what your saying.
My ponderize scripture is Helaman 14:17 it says
17) But behold, the resurrection of Christ redeemeth mankind, yea, even all mankind, and bringeth them back into the presence of the Lord.
I really like this, it is the reason we have Easter. The reason being the resurrection which is part of the atonement of Jesus Christ. Which had to be done by and only by Jesus Christ or else we could not go "... back into the presence of the lord."
Hope ya 'll had a good Easter and don’t forget to watch conference Don't just clean your house and listen to it in the background---take notes.
Love you all .
