Week 13 Donovan Mitchell and Elsa

HAPPY EASTER! I am so grateful for our brother and Savior Jesus Christ. HE LIVES!
These two words bring me SO much hope! SO much joy! I know that through Him we can overcome all pain,
all sorrow, and even death!! Because HE LIVES I can live and have JOY!! What a great plan God has
 (: Jesus Christ is NOT a fairy tale, or a story passed down. HE LIVES, HE IS REAL.
He is our brother and our friend and wants us to be happy! 

I love this scripture:
Mormon 9:21
21 Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing,
 whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; 
and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth.  

Believe in Him! Doubt not, and ASK! He is always there eager to help you. With whatever you need!
 I know Jesus Christ lives!! 

BIG NEWS
- I met someone this week who knows who Donovan Mitchell is!! He's this young college dude,
and we started talking about basketball. AND HE KNEW who Donovan was!!
But the sad news.... He didn't know who Jesus was.... Sister Roberts and I tried to change that,
 but he just liked that we were American and knew about the NBA....

-While out knocking doors, a family let us in! They have a cute little 6 year old who called Sister Roberts 'Elsa'
and I was 'Ana' (from Frozen). She was the cutest little girl ever and kept running back and forth from her room
to the kitchen and showed me all of her favorite toys! She knows a little English, and I know a little Croatian,
so we became quick friends! And we taught this family the Restoration! I tried to help where I could in the lesson,
 then I got to tell the Joseph Smith story and bear my testimony. The Spirit filled the room throughout our lesson
 and I know they felt something! But they weren't interested in learning more... Sometimes it is hard because once
again, we don't know if they are interested in our message or that we are "American Girls." So we explain our
purpose as missionaries of helping others come unto Christ, and that really determines whether they want to
 know more about our Savior Jesus Christ or not.

-Last night we ate Easter Dinner at a members home! They had homemade Burek, stuffed peppers, potatoes!
Wow it was amazing! Then we sang a little bit of karaoke! Good times(: 


I love you all so much! Thank you for all the prayers and support! It means the world to me!!
