Wednesday- We had mission correlation. We were able to visit a less active. and then we went to a few other people but they weren't home. 

Thursday- We contacted and had a little success. We did an activity and we watched The Testaments. There were a few investigators that came. We tried visiting a less active but they weren't there. We talked with Victor but only for a couple minutes. 

Friday- We once again contacted with a little success. We then visited an investigator Axel. We walked a lot today.

Saturday- We did English classes. And we had zone training. That went well. I spoke at it about prayer for about 10 minutes. We tried visting a potenial investigator but he wasn't home.

This is what the church is now doing with Easter. And we are doing it here. We are sharing that our Savior Lives. I invite all of you to talk the couple minutes to watch the video in this link. And remember the real reason for Easter. To remember our Savior and what He did for us. I know He lives.

***Here is the scripture Tyler referred to...this section of 2nd Nephi is often called the Psalm of Nephi.

2 Nephi 4

30 Rejoice, O my heart, and cry unto the Lord, and say: O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

 31 O Lord, wilt thou redeem my soul? Wilt thou deliver me out of the hands of mine enemies? Wilt thou make me that I may shake at the appearance of sin?

 32 May the gates of hell be shut continually before me, because that my heart is broken and my spirit is contrite! O Lord, wilt thou not shut the gates of thy righteousness before me, that I may walk in the path of the low valley, that I may be strict in the plain road!

 33 O Lord, wilt thou encircle me around in the robe of thy righteousness! O Lord, wilt thou make a way for mine escape before mine enemies! Wilt thou make my path straight before me! Wilt thou not place a stumbling block in my way—but that thou wouldst clear my way before me, and hedge not up my way, but the ways of mine enemy.

 34 O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever. I will not put my trust in the arm of flesh; for I know that cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh. Yea, cursed is he that putteth his trust in man or maketh flesh his arm.

 35 Yea, I know that God will give liberally to him that asketh. Yea, my God will give me, if I ask not amiss; therefore I will lift up my voice unto thee; yea, I will cry unto thee, my God, the rock of my righteousness. Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God. Amen.
