Elder Alec Lange: EASTER!

Squaw Peak

Its been a killer week. We worked super hard to get our investigators to church this week. We wanted 7 but only had 3 attend. Its alright though. 7 was a long shot. Hopefully next week. In one of our Wards, they hadn't had investigator attend in close to a year. So that was really good to get one there. Its the richer part of our area so its hard finding in that ward. They are all just really well off and don't think they need any changes to their lives. But everyone was so surprised when we brought in a bald guy with tattoos and gauges. As if people don't stare enough, and then he walked into church haha. Everyone was super nice though. He stayed for all 3 hours and really enjoyed it!

We had some really good lessons this week though. Our investigator are just moving right along. We have a lot of things to do and its hard staying on top of everything. Just seeing how people are doing between our next visits and seeing if they are doing the things we asked them to do.

My birthday went well. Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. We ate with an investigator family the day before my birthday but they wanted to celebrate it, they are super awesome. Adam (member), Dora and Dorita. This is the family I've been talking about. They are super cool and I hope I can see them in the waters of baptism soon!

Easter was also super awesome. There is nothing like the feeling of the spirit, especially when its strong in a meeting. I think it was super good for everyone that attended. I LOVE talking about Christ and His infinite atonement! I wish the whole could know how much hope and peace come from Jesus Christ. My testimony of Jesus Christ has grown so much out on my mission and ill never forget the relationship each of us can have with Him. He still lives today. He isn't someone that lived and died for us only. He still lives today! No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.
