Happy easter yesterday!!!! 

General conference was a success here in Florida! I wish we could listen to the prophet speak every week! Watching Conference got me a little trunky looking at the Salt Lake Temple but its all good haha. 1 conference down 3 to go! We went to our ward building to watch and were there with a couple members watching all the sessions. We were there all day Saturday and then most of the day Sunday. My favorite talk has to be Holland. I just like the analogies that he gives, they are so real to me! 

This week has been pretty good. We have been trying to talk to everyone so we can pick up some new investigators. We picked up some new people and will be teaching them this next week! Mostly we have just been teaching the same people and prepping them for baptism this month! 

This week Oliver went back to Indiana to stay there. We got his address and called the missionaries there to refer him over there and I'm sure that made their day hearing that he is prepared for baptism. We got through almost all the lessons with him and all he needs to do is just get dunked! He is coming down next winter and told me that he will contact me and he will go to lunch with us! By that time he will be a solid member! We got got  his email and he will email me some pictures of his baptism so I will send those when I get them! I got a pic with him so you guys can put a face to a name. 

So this week we were told that we are doing a car fast as a mission! We will be doing it for the next 2 weeks, so we will be dusting off the bikes and the helmets! Either that or calling more members to come out with us. 

Jarsi brought another one of his friends down from Fort Lauterdale area so that we could teach him. Jarsi is way solid. Both of his friends that he has brought down has accepted baptism and are preparing. If only they could be in our area then that would be great but all that matters is the message that we have to share. Its the same anywhere you go. Its true anywhere you go. 

Thanks for all the love and support! Till next week!
