Mucho Bueno!

Hello all, I hope you all had a wonderful week! We had a good one. We have seen some wonderful blessings this week.

 Through the great work of members we have been able to find two fantastic families. We see awesome things coming from them. It is so amazing to see a desire to change and improve and become closer to Christ in these people. We are really here to testify and teach to the meek and humble, who are willing to do the will of the Lord. In the same way, me must make sure that we are meek and humble as well so the Lord can guide us and teach us. Missionaries are God's investigators. As Jeffrey R. Holland put it (more or less) "You want your investigators to pray differently, more fervently and with real intent? Well God wants you to pray differently. With more love and intent and fervently. You want them to study and change their lives, well God wants you to study and change your life." Serving a mission is such a wonderful opportunity.

 We went on exchanges with Galt again this week. I had never proselyted in Galt, and it was a pretty good time. They are hard up there. We went to the flea market and talked to some really good people. They like to run away right when things are getting good, it was crazy. But it was great to be with Elder Crook and learn from him. He is a great example of a quiet leader and true man.

 
We had stake conference this past weekend, which is always a little harder to work with investigators, it is much more member-centered and hard for them. But we had one investigator Luis come. He is an awesome young man that had talked to missionaries about a year ago, but for some reason, he stopped being able to come to church and wasn't baptized. He is super cool. Hopefully we can have a great visit with his parents this week.

 The Saturday Night session of stake conference was great. It was all about missionary work. President and Sister Lewis cam and spoke and it was great. We also had interviews with them which is always a good opportunity.

 I hope you all have a wonderful Easter. What a great time to remember our Savior and that He lives and is right by our side if we let Him. I know that He pulls with us and he will make our burdens light by strengthening us. There is nothing that we cannot overcome. I love you all and I hope you all stay safe and healthy this week! Look for missionary opportunities. Invite all to hear this wonderful message, especially in this season. Love,

 Elder Stone
