Dear Family,
The time is going by so fast.  I can't believe another week has gone by.  This was a great week!  Here are some highlights 
We taught 47 lessons so we are almost to our goal of 50!
I've walked through another pair of shoes
We been poured on like every day this week
I was gleaked on by a contact... 
We made a puppet show of the restoration, visuals are the best!
Ate goat water? (not a high light)
Picked sea shells at the beach
Took a thousand pictures of a crab
Drove all around the island.. seriously OBSESSED with St. Kitts
Asked a man what he treasures the most in life.. he replied in all seriousness "The Herb".. at least he's honest?
We were running around super busy this week!  But the busier we are the better it is!  We have 5 baptismal dates right now.. so pray for them!  we need lots of help!  On Thursday we taught a woman that we've been teaching for a few months now.  She's been progressing, but slowly.  She's just been really nervous to leave her church because all of her family goes there, and she hasn't been able to recognize her answer to know if the Book of Mormon is true.  She was just really overwhelmed with choosing between the two churches.  We asked her waht she was looking for as an answer and she said that sometimes God answers her in the form of another person, so that's what she was expecting.  So we gave her a challenge.  We told her to not focus or think about anything but the Book of Mormon.  We invited her to read the Book of Mormon for 10 minutes for 7 days and pray and ask every time before and after if it is true.  So a week later, we met with her again and she told us how the challenge went.  She said that she was sitting in the park reading the Book of Mormon during her lunch break and a man came up to her and asked her what book she was reading.  She said the Book of Mormon and he was like oh the Book of Mormon!  That's the true church you know.  Where did you get that  book, I've been wanting to read it also.  So Heavenly Father really sent her someone to answer her prayer!  
Well its Ester weekend again!  What a great time we have to ponder what Christ's resurrection means to us.  I am so grateful that I can be a witness that He lives and leads and guides His church today!  Hope you all have a great Easter!
