A Fashion Story

Funny: I got to go on an emergency exchange with the 1st ward Elders because one of them was sick. We went and visited a lady who is investigating the church. We walked in and she told us how her main source of interest is because of the church history. We were a little surprised because that is not one we usually hear. She then proceeded to give us an hour and a half discourse about the fashion at the time of Joseph Smith. It was very insightful but also strange that her conversion comes partially because the church does such a good job with the dresses in the movies of that time haha.

Spiritual: Easter as a missionary is possibly one of the most spiritual days. It is one of the few days that people are focused on Christ and that their hearts are a little bit softer. We had a great church meeting. We had invited a lot of people to come and join us but over the course of the morning they had all cancelled. We went to church a little disappointing. A few minutes before the meeting started in walked Timothy, he told us that he wasn't going to come but when he walked outside he could see the church from his house and a feeling came over him and compelled him to come. By the end of the meeting there were tears in his eyes, and a massive smile on his face. How grateful we are that God works his mighty hand over the earth.

Where I am at: Life is great down here is Cortez, Elder Barajas and I are getting along great and we are excited for the new week. 

Have a great week
