Hola!
So this week we
got to be a part of lots of cool things! president Toone invited the whole
mission up for transfers (Yuma had to Skype in) but it was really fun to be all
together as a mission and learn were we need to improve and how we are all
leaders and trainers and we need to help each other learn and grow. I love
president Toone so much and I know how much he loves each and every one of the
missionaries. Hermana Manwill and I also had the privilege to go to Jewlz baptism
on Saturday. The English sisters have been teaching her. We did a short
presentation while they were changing and as soon as we got up there were
three people in the audience who were looking straight at me and thy were
just bawling. After the baptism they came up to me and said I looked just
like their daughter who is serving a mission in Philadelphia right now,
they wondered if there would ever be a chance that I would serve in their ward.
Then we got to help with the Easter pageant!!!!! It was AMAZING! We
got to go up Saturday night and host, it was really fun because we were in
charge of a specific area of seats and we talked to the people in that area and
encouraged them to go over to the visitor center before the show. There is one
woman we talked to who really wants us to come over and teach her :) the spirit
there was amazing and before the show even started you could feel it so strong
and you could see how it was touching people. And then the show began and it
was in all Spanish and I LOOOOVED it! Spanish is such a beautiful language. The
spirit was so strong; my favorite part was seeing Hermana Banderas from our
ward with her husband who is not a member. And after the show his face was
covered in tears. He came to church for the first time yesterday :) blessings. Miracles.
I love how the spirit works. We are taking our investigators up on Tuesday and
we are suuuuper excited and then we get to go up to host again on Wednesday
night. If you haven’t seen the mesa Easter pageant before than make plans to
come next year with me because it would be worth the trip! I hope you all have
a wonderful Easter and remember all that the Savior has done for you. I know
that he lives, I know that he loves us unconditionally and every single thing
that he does is for our benefit. When we allow his love and atonement to work
in ourself and in our lives, we can see fear turn into faith, hate turn into
love and weakness turn into strength. I love that I have this opportunity to be
his representative, to say and do what he himself would say and do if he were
here. To stand as his witness in this great and marvelous work! I love him and
I know he loves me :) I also love ALL of you and i can wait to hear from you! Have
a great week!
Love,
Hermana savage
