Hello Family!

This week has been a week of miracles.  And big miracles to boot.  It was great!  So last monday, I mentioned that we were meeting with a potential investigator and his name was Bryan.  We had dinner with him and a member came with us.  It was a little awkward but he is very interested and we are really excited.

Tuesday we went and worked on fixing all the lights that they were taking down from the memorial.  Let me just say there are quite a few lights here and it is crazy.  After working on lights we went out to Randolph to teach a less active... or so we thought.  What ended up happening is we came in and she said, " Hey I want you to teach my brothers. "  Well they are now 2 investigators and learning about the Gospel.  We are so excited to teach them  We are seeing them this Saturday. We then went and met with a bunch of potential people and well, they were not as excited about learning about the Gospel.  They actually are not interested at all.  So yeah.  That was a little disappointing, but in the end Heavenly Father still provided a way for everything to work out.

Wednesday we tried contacting a bunch of people and we also were able to teach one of our investigators with a member.  It is actually someone that I taught when I was here last time.  Her name is Debbie, and she is great.  She even came to church on sunday and brought her daughter.  I skipped a little bit, but it was just so exciting!!  I was so happy! We saw the Perrons another family that we sorked with when I was last here.  They were so excited!  I was too!  they are great!

Thursday we had District meeting which was fantastic because we have a crazy awesome district.  We have 5 sets of missionaries in our district!  I think we are one of the biggest in the mission.  Plus we have the Zone Leaders and the Sister Training leaders in our district.  So it is a very... leadership full district.  Yeah.  They are Great. After District meeting we went to see Misty, a less active that we started teaching last week.  She wants us to keep coming back and she is going to start trying to get work off on Sundays so she can come to church again. :)

Friday came and we did weekly planning.  That was fun, but very long.  As usual.  We did that then headed to the JSM to do tours. Well also we are now both playing the the sisters conference this week.  The Sister Missionaries are getting together for a conference.  We are going to be playing Come thou Fount.  It is an arrangement we found on LDS.org.  It is really good.  One of the violins we are playing is really old.  And the strings are too.  Well they were so old that I broke the E string... So a member bought us all new strings for the violin.  It sounds completely different. Like a different violin.  Well Friday we walked out and to give a tour and I saw 2 familiar people.  It was the Ellis's!  It was so exciting.  It is crazy how small of a world it is.  

During the tour a member showed up and she handed us a second violin so we could do a duet.  Her name is Sister Kill.  She rented the violin for us!  For 3 months!  We were in total shock.  Like complete and utter shock.  But we are really excited to play now.  

Saturday we were told that we should be doing more chat this weekend for the Easter weekend and for the Because of Him website.  We Got online and realized that the number of chats we could do increased from one to 5.  We could have 5 gospel centered conversations going on at once.  I don't know about you, but my brain still hurts.  We tried doing 4 but that was too much and one of the conversations didn't even say anything.  So we just did 3.  That was so crazy.  I felt like it was a race to type and find videos and scriptures and talk with my companion and get everything sent out.  Oh my goodness it was so crazy!  We did that for a while.  My brain just wanted to shut down, but we kept going.  We had coordination next and talked about a bunch of things with our ward mission leader.  Then we went and tried a few people.  We went to the Hoyts a less active family here and part member family.  We shared the Because of Him video and the spirit was so strong.  They went to a different church for Easter, but we are hoping they will come next week to hear me speak.  Oh we are also playing a duet in sacrament meeting next week.  Yep.  It is a little crazy.  Then we went and saw a referral.  His name is Steve.  And the Lord has his timing perfectly.  Because we knew that his girlfriend is not interested and doesn't want him to learn.  Well we came at the perfect time, she was asleep, but in the house so we could come in and teach him.  It was perfect.  And he is so excited and ready.  He really need this right now especially with the things that are going on in his life right now. It was a very crazy saturday.

Sunday EASTER!  We went to church and we were so hoping that all of our new investigators were going to come.  Unfortunately they didn't.  But Debbie did!  It was so great!  We were so excited!  She is great!  We then went to the JSM after church to give tours and do more chat.  There were so many people coming online.  My brain is still having problems typing.  We then had dinner with all the senior couples at the JSM. :)  It was so much fun.  I love all these people. 

It was a great Easter.  :)

Well that was my week.  It was crazy and fun and very tiring.  And well worth it.  It think this next week will be even better. :)

I can't wait to hear from you all! 

Love always and Forever,

Sister Lundahl
