Hello all you wonderful people! It has been a great week out here in

the glorious state of Pennsylvania! It has rained like crazy, I am

thinking the saying "April showers bring May flowers." Is nothing but

truth! I now understand why Pennsylvania is so stinkin green and

vibrant. I also love it when it rains because the rainbows are so

beautiful, and always remind me of the primary song. "I like to look

for rainbows whenever there is rain, and ponder on the beauty of an

Earth made clean again. I want my life to be as clean as Earth right

after rain. I want to be the best I can and live with God again."

Aren't primary songs just the best? The simple yet profound truths

they hold are so soul touching and testimony building!

EVERYONE SISTER AGNES GETS BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY! Oh my gosh, the tears

are going to be so real when she gets baptized (just as they are every

time, the tears never go away). I am so excited for her. It has been a

long road, but a faith building road. This woman has changed my life,

and continues to change my life with her example of faith, of love and

of being steadfast. She truly is built upon "a sure foundation, a

foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." That foundation is

one we should all be built on, that foundation is Jesus Christ.

James is also doing so well! We talked about the great apostasy and

the restoration last night and it was so cool! We invited him to pray

about the Joseph Smith experience and he looked at us like we were

ridiculous and said "I don't need to pray about it, I have faith!" The

faith and testimonies of children are so sweet, even if they've only

been members for a month. I think we could all use a little more of

the faith that James has, and have that faith that we don't have to

ask, but we still always should.

Gosh, I love the Book of Mormon! This week we met some very

interesting people, but the one I want to talk about is a man named

Ryan. Sister Shin and I were headed to go contact some former

investigators and there were two men out on the porch, they said hello

so obviously we said hello too. They asked what we were doing and we

introduced ourselves and Ryan goes "I love Jesus! Come show me your

video!" So we went up to show him Prince of Peace, afterwards we got

to know him a little bit better and he explained to us how he came to

know Christ in his own life. He talked about how he loves to read

books from other faiths and immediately the Book of Mormon jumped into

my mind. Thank goodness for my sweet companion always carrying an

extra copy with her! We were able to testify of the truth of the Book

and how it has blessed our lives in so many ways! He graciously

accepted the Book and invited us to come back in a few weeks to check

up on his reading!

We also had another great experience with testifying of the Book of

Mormon! A few weeks ago we met a lady named Cynthia and we kept making

appointments but they kept falling through. Finally this week we got

to teach her! We focused our whole lesson on the Book of Mormon and it

was so powerful! At the end we pulled out her very own copy and she

was so excited! She took it right out of our hands and said "instead

of watching my shows tonight I'm gonna read this book." The smile on

our faces could not be wiped off! Reading the Book of Mormon is the

best way to gain a testimony and the fact that she was so excited to

read it just was so amazing! Even those who have never seen or read

the book can be influenced by the spirit it brings to simply hold it

in their hand.

I can honestly say the Book of Mormon brings miracles. Each time I

testify of the truth of it and that it is another testimony of the

Savior, I get goosebumps. I am reminded of my purpose to invite others

to come unto Christ, and really there is no better way to come unto

Christ than by reading the Book of Mormon. On the introduction of the

Book of Mormon there is a quote by the prophet Joseph Smith, “I told

the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book

on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer

to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.” That

really is the truest statement, of you want to have a better

relationship with Christ and don't know how to do it, here is your

answer. Read the Book of Mormon. It does nothing but testify of our

Savior, Redeemer, Advocate and Friend. It is about Jesus Christ, and

His gospel. It is full of His love and of His peace. Please don't

hesitate to read it, even if it's just a verse everyday. It will

chance your life, I know this because it has changed mine.

I hope you all have an amazing week! Have a happy Easter! 🐰🥚

I love my Savior with all my heart and I know that He loves me and you.

Much love,

Wawa Rd.
