April 17th

 Easter was great! It was one of my favorite sacrament meetings in this ward yet.   It was so powerful. A lady talked about how several years ago she had accidentally ran over and killed her little girl. Her little girl would have been 8 last week. It was so amazing to hear her tell her story how the Savior carried the load of that tragedy in her life .  I could not imagine that guilt and sorrow that she had but she is at peace now and has been able to move on in her life.   She has 2 girls and her husband is still with her. Pretty amazing story it was inspiring and very hope filling. 

 On another note we have noticed that we are finding better again and the members are helping too. Example 
 a lady was praying for a miracle and then a lady in our ward just saw her out the window and invited her to come to church with her and she did! 

my ponderize scripture is Alma 39:9-10

9 Now my son, I would that ye should repent and forsake your sins, and go no more after the lusts of your eyes, but cross yourself in all these things; for except ye do this ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God. Oh, remember, and take it upon you, and cross yourself in these things.

10 And I command you to take it upon you to counsel with your elder brothers in your undertakings; for behold, thou art in thy youth, and ye stand in need to be nourished by your brothers. And give heed to their counsel.

I love this --take counsel from your older brothers because Jesus Christ is our big brother and He gave the best council. Also it says to cross yourself when you are about to do something you shouldn't just remember why you shouldn't do it. Cross yourself until you dont want to do it any more.

 Well these last couple weeks we have had two missionary go to the hospital one is home recovering in Utah and the other is still undecided what is wrong so please pray for them they need it.
