Happy Easter!

Hello everybody! Happy Easter! This week was awesome! We got to do a bunch of service and we found some cool people too.

On Monday for p-day we got to hang out with a cool guy who is the best friend of a member in the branch. We helped him change the spark plugs on his mustang. He is really cool. Hopefully he'll start asking questions soon. 

On Tuesday we helped a member change the water pump on his Cadillac. It has the same Engine as Austin’s car. Then I got to drive his tractor for a little and park a trailer for him. I like tractors :) 

On Wednesday we helped a kind of less active member fix his road grater. He's got like 6 full size road graters. We took the tires off of one so he can get new rubber so he can fix his road :) he’s cool. He used to live in Spanish Fork for years. 

On Thursday some really awesome members drove us to a little town called Mason, like 40 miles away from Fredericksburg, but still in our area. We taught  3 people up there that were former investigators. One lady really wants to come to church and the Branch Pig Roast coming up! On Thursday we also helped a member fix his pickup. Elder Tanner saved him a couple hundred dollars by finding out that the clutch was fine but the Master Cylinder was out of brake fluid! 

On Saturday we got to help slaughter 3 little Piggy's for the Branch Pig Roast coming up! I've never done that before, but it was really cool. We got to do everything from shooting them to getting the meat ready for the grill.

Easter Sunday was awesome, We had a lot of less active members come and feel the spirit. It's so great to have this time of year to remember the Atonement and Resurrection.

This week we found a few people that seem very excited to come to the Branch Pig Roast on Saturday, and start learning more about the church. I feel very blessed to be serving in this area. With all the service were getting to do, the members are really waking up and getting more excited about talking to their friends. We are meeting a lot of the members friends through service, then we will start to work with them. We do a lot of knocking too, but we never seem to get much success from that. But we do it anyway to find those that are being prepared :)

Thanks again for all the prayers and letters and everything. I'll talk to you all next week.
