So Elder R just finished being trained in St. Paul, which is out in the boonies up north somewhere. So I've been able to teach him how to city! It's been great so far; he has an awesome spirit with him. He's from Boise Idaho, he likes to take long walks on the beach, he likes sunsets and slow music, and he actually likes snowboarding, paintballing, and airsoft guns.
On a different note, we had an awesome experience this last week! The night that Elder R got here we decided to stop by someone Elder S and I found a couple weeks before. When we first found them it was a lady named S who answered the door. She didn't seem super interested, but she said we could come back another time. Then Elder R and I stopped by, and the husband opened the door (don't remember his name). We told him we talked to S a couple weeks before and she said we could come back, then he invited us inside and promptly fed us dinner and dessert! It was crazy! We figured out that they have 7 kids and that they are super religious. They had a lot of questions about what we believe and missionary life, and we actually had the chance to teach them the Plan of Salvation! They even invited us back for tomorrow!!!

Crazy week: houses were knocked on, doors were slammed, and messages were shared. But the best part was probably our lesson with E! He is someone that the Assistants have been teaching for a while, but they recently discovered that he's actually in our area, so we got to work with them this last Saturday! Elder R got to go with one of them to actually teach him, and then I went with an elder who was a past zone leader of mine to go street contacting! It was a ton of fun.
Well, I don't have a lot of time, but I wanted to say that I know that my Redeemer lives! He is constantly working to help us, so please be in a place in your lives where you can receive that help.

Crazy week! We had the Traveling Elders in our area for about 3 days starting on Thursday, and miracles always happen with those guys around.
But the coolest part was most definitely General Conference!
E came with us to a members house (the M's for those who know them) for general conference, and he seemed to really enjoy it!
I also had an awesome experience with the solemn assembly.
Right as I was standing up as an elder, I realized that I really didn't know if President Nelson was actually prophet. So I said a super quick prayer and received a strong witness from the spirit that he is! It's crazy how useful prayer is, hey?!
Anyways, I gotta go. Happy Easter!🐇🥚🎉
