Hey Momma!
Ha Sister Garner is such a saint! Every time I am over there I feel like I’m with family, it’s a huge blessing. And yeah we had some fun playing in the sand, Jake showed us all the the bells and whistles that came with it😂 their kids are our best buds (Elder Findlay spent Easter morning and watched a session of conference with the Garner family, who have been so kind to him since he has been in this area)
Man conference was so good! I was expecting some change but not that much😂 I really felt the spirit as I heard about all of the changes, there is no doubt in my mind that the Lord is running His church. It’s such a huge blessing to have modern revelation, I can’t imagine where we would be without it. I highly feel that these new changes are going to hasten the work of strengthening and building up the Kingdom of God.
The Saturday session was good too. Remember when I lived at that really nice home(The Browns) with the queen beds? Well Elders Thompson and Jones live there now and they invited us to watch conference with them so we did that. It was a party. We even got Jalepeño Bucks for lunch😁
As I was watching Priesthood session on Saturday night, I was listening closely to President Nelson’s words. I felt an overwhelming feeling of love towards him and I felt the spirit confirm to me that he IS the living Prophet of God. And he is doing an amazing job, there isn’t a ounce of sadness in that man😂 At least none that I can see. I already love him as our Prophet and I was glad that I got to stand and sustain him. We are so blessed to have a prophet. I mean reading through the Book of Mormon and learning about all of the old prophets is so cool! I love the Prophet Mormon, he started at such a young age and literally devoted his whole life to God. It’s a great responsibility to be a Prophet and I know that President Nelson will be amazing.
Fun fact, I ate alligator for the first time this week. It was actually super good. I would get it again if I had the opportunity👍
I am so sad that the Easter Pageant is over now, but I was glad that I got to enjoy it one last year before it stops for a few. We went Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night this week, all with really great people. We had to fight like lions to get good seats up front haha, luckily the missionary badge helps. We are now working with a new family, the Claytons. They are a family that hasn’t been to church for a really long time but we stopped by Brother Claytons last week and talked for a while. He expressed to us that he wants to come back to church fully so he can baptize his son next year when he turns eight. It was a very spiritual and emotional conversation, he is such a good man. He is going through some hard things right now and our plan with him is to get him back into things and then his family will follow. We love them, they are amazing people. Anyways they came to the Pageant on Tuesday night and it was so good! They loved it!

We took a few of our investigators to the Pageant as well. One of our investigators in particular has been really struggling. Last week her husband died unexpectedly and she’s been going through a hard time. We were super surprised to hear the news, we were actually teaching her husband the day before he passed away. We knew that the Easter Pageant would be good for her and bring her some peace. It took a lot for her to get there but she came! She really felt peace and the spirit. I know that the Spirit of God is waiting to comfort us when we need it, all we need to do is open our hearts and receive him.
We are now teaching a 9 year old named Logan. He is a super smart kid. He wants to be baptized and hopefully he will be in the next month or so. The obstacle there is that his Mom kind of expects him to be perfect before he can get baptized, she’s pretty hard on him😂 Which isn’t really how it works so Bishop is helping us help her understand that that’s not the case. Hopefully her heart will soften and Logan can get baptized soon:)
Yeah so we get transfer news on Saturday. Hopefully I stay, I really want to. Especially now that we might have a baptism in April. I would hat to leave and miss it, we’ve worked so hard😂 We have so many good families that we are working with and it will be really hard to leave them when I do get transferred. I don’t like change, luckily I will only have 1 more area😁
Well I think that’s about it for this week. Oh I heard that the National Championship for March Madness is tonight! That flew by, I hope Villanova wins again. I also hear that the Jazz are mobbin! Apparently they have a pretty solid team put together, I hope they go far this year in the playoffs😂 Anyways I love you all so much! I love the Gospel and the hope it brings! Have a great week in Cali!
Love Elder Findlay
