The one where I have a companion longer than one transfer

 Happy Easter!

I love Easter Sunday! It was really cool as a missionary to be out teaching about Jesus Christ. Especially this week because everyone was reflecting on the last week of the Savior's life. 

This week was transfer week! Sister Meyring and I are staying together for another transfer! This is the first time that I have had a companion longer than a transfer. Count my blessings! We had the Emporia Sisters stay with us for two days. It was really fun to have them with us for a few days before transfers. 

This week was a hard week for Sister Meyring and I. It was discouraging. We didn't find much this week. We found one person. Her name is Brenda. She was taught previously. We were able to teach her the Restoration and we gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon. She just had a family member die and she wants her sister to hear our message of the Restored Gospel as well! 

We are focusing on working with members this week also. We live in a ward where there are a lot of military families. A lot of mothers are left alone. So we like to go to service for them! We did yard work and housework for one of our members and it was a lot of fun! I got to use some of the skills I developed when I was a housekeeper. Thanks Dad!

I want to end this email with my testimony. I know that the Savior lives. I know that he died for each and every one of us. I know he is my personal Savior and that he knows what I am feeling and what I will feel in this mortal life. I am so grateful that I was brought up in a gospel centered home where I was able to grow my foundation of our Savior Jesus Christ. I am now grateful that I get to come to Kansas and to share this message with everyone so that they can come closer to their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And know that he is THEIR personal Savior and that he suffered for them also. I love him! I love this Church. I know that Joseph Smith is a true Prophet of God. I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to Joseph Smith in the sacred grove and told me that none of the churches were true and that he would restore the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints back to the Earth. And that I am a representative of Jesus Christ. And I love the work that I am called to do right now in the Kansas Wichita Mission. 

The one where Kansas is getting a temple

Exchanges with STL

 This week was amazing. General conference was amazing. I hope that all of you gained the insights and received answered to your questions.

Wichita Kansas is getting a temple. The whole mission is going crazy about it. I am eternally grateful. This has been the prayer of hundreds of missionaries and thousands of righteous saints of the church. We now know why Elder Gong came to visit us. 

This week was a hard week. We weren't able to find anyone new to teach. But we found a less active member when we were talking to a guy at target. He didn't tell us that he was a member until we tried to put him on date for baptism. So that was a funny one. But he was less active and he wants to take the lessons again and he wants to go on a mission. We are going to help him with that journey!

We are also working with another less active member. We have been working with her for a while. She watched general conference and she is wanting to turn her life around. She is just going through a lot of mental health and a lot of other things we are trying to help her navigate. 

Our friend Susan watched general conference. She wanted the women's session and loved it! Sadly we couldn't get her husband to watch with her. But we are working with them both and we want to put them both on date this weekend when we meet with them again.
