            This week went really well, even though we didn’t have a ton of lessons. The people are all just too nice here. I’ve had the chance to see the happiness that children can bring to parents here in Tahiti. I’ve blessed a few of my investigator’s babies, and have had the opportunity on occasion to ask them what it's like to have a child and what the different levels of joy between each child is. We are all the children of our Heavenly Father, and He loves us all the same. He probably has the biggest wallet in the world with all of our baby PICTURES in it. I imagine the joy He feels all the time seeing all the good that His children are doing in His world. Then I think of the sadness that He feels when he has to see so many of His children move farther and farther away from Him (spiritually) He loves us so much though, that He sent His first born son to die for us, so that we may come back to our Father one day.

            Easter for me this year had nothing to do with eggs. I had the blessing to focus on the true message, probably for the first time in my life. The conclusion that I came up with.... I will never fully understand the atonement, or the greatness of things that the Savior did for me. Crazy thing is, with the small amount of knowledge that I have on the subject, and a whole lot of faith, it's enough to get me to the judgment seat before GOD, where I can thank Him face to face. Faith is such a simple yet profound subject for me. I simply believe, I work for a greater knowledge, hoping that one day it will all pay off. Deep down inside I know it will, and that’s what pushes me along.

            GOD watches over my sister and that’s why I will never give up, because I know one day it will all work out. You have no idea how much I miss the thought of GOING to church with her. Like the Lehi days, then walking home together. I bet that’s all Jesus thought about when my sister and I stopped GOING to church. He missed how nice it was to be in our lives, daily but, we put him aside. I've asked him to forgive me for these things Many times; yet I’ve got a long way to go to make up for it all. It's been so much phun coming back to the right path. It’s sad that it took so long.... I just hope that I can GO for a walk one day with my sister again on this path, then I think it would all come back; all the good memories, all the good feelings, all the promises, and all the happiness that our father has to offer. All I know is that as I keep praying for my family, the Lord is preparing something great for us all and that’s why life has probably been so hard lately haha. That’s the way I think of it. I love my mission way too much; 7 months will go by too fast. So I enjoy every second I have.  

I love you all so much! Stay safe this week!
