This week was pretty relaxed. Nothing too crazy or exciting happened. Mostly it was just normal missionary work. No glitz and glamour, but still very rewarding. 

M and B were confirmed this Sunday which was great! I love those four words: Receive the Holy Ghost. Those 4 words change our lives forever! The girls were very happy, and M is getting ready to go to Trek and Girl's Camp!

 So I am the ward organist and I absolutely love it. Usually I get nervous about playing and I just focus on how many times I messed up, but yesterday we were singing I Know that My Redeemer Lives, and one of the best thing about Latinos is they are not very good singers...hahaa. For some reason it is very hard for the members to blend their voices. I am not being mean. The members always talk about how bad they sing, but it doesn't stop them from singing loud. I sit on the organ bench and I can hear a least ten distinct voices. I can pin point exactly who is singing and all I could think was this is probably the most beautiful thing I have every heard. I could hear individuals, who have suffered so much leaving their countries and trying to provide for their families here, and they were belting, "Yo se que vive mi senor!" Sing it loud! Sing it proud! Keep that song in your heart! I know my Savior lives!

Operation Gratitude had a big event this weekend, and the whole mission had permission to go down to Canoga Park. It was so fun to be in my old area. There were so many houses I wanted to stop by :) Operation Gratitude is always very appreciative of the missionaries. They have us act as Trainers for all the volunteers that come from the community. We teach them how to make para-chord bracelets, how to stuff teddy bears, and how to prepare boxes that will be sent to the troops. It is a great way to be involved in the community!

Here is my favorite quote from the week

"Far better it is TO DARE MIGHTY THINGS, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows no victory nor defeat." -Teddy Roosevelt

My goal this week is to dare mighty things. 

Satan brings the spirit of fear. 

Heavenly Father gives us the spirit of power, faith, and courage. 

Go big this week. 

Try something new. 

Step outside the comfort box, and step up our faith a notch or two...or 10!

Fun Stuff:

1. We are going to the temple Friday for Hna Salazar's bday! Can't wait. That will make this Easter week very special.

2. My trainer Hna Day goes home next week! Crazy how time flies. She started training me when she had 9 months left. Now I am in her shoes!

3. I think I actually like cilantro.  I know. Mission miracles.

4. I am currently sitting next to a snoring dog. It sounds a little familiar...maybe like something I used to hear on family vacations :) Love you dad!

Love you.

Have a great Easter!
