I have come to the realization that snow is the worst thing to live in. We had a blizzard this week and were stuck inside all day and then once it stopped we tried to help people shovel snow but alas our shovels were not up to the challenge and became very bent out of shape and no longer were very helpful.

I am sad to say the Elder Gill had to go home this week, His back needed to be taken care of and so he was medically released. I really enjoyed working with him but I am now in a trio with Elder's Johnson and Soller. They are both hard working and good missionary. We now cover three wards! Two of which I am the one who knows so things got pretty busy very fast! But I am grateful for the challenge that it allows.

Something that is important to remember always is that every challenge that God gives us he helps us with as Nephi said; "I know the Lord giveth no commandment to the children of men, except he shall prepare a way for them to accomplish the things which he commands."

We had a great Easter Sunday and I hope all of you did as well!

It was a great Sunday We went to all three sacrament services for the wards and there was very amazing musical numbers in all three!

I love the music around this time of year it reminds us of the need to be hopeful and the importance of the savior in our life.

In the YSA's Gospel doctrine class the sister teaching taught about how important the Holy Ghost is to us. And how great it is that we have that gift. In John16 the savior tells the Apostles and Us that things are going to get really hard, and really tough, However, He also tells us that we will not ever be alone. Jesus Christ has sent us the Spirit of God the Holy Ghost. And because of that we can have a person relationship with our savior and we will know him not just Know of him.

After Easter dinner we went over to Papa Dave’s and Mama Kitty's house and played a game of pool. I had forgotten how bad I am at Pool but it was still really fun to do!

I love you guys! I hope that you all have a wonderful week and always remember to think of the savior. He wants us to know him every day of the year not just on Easter and Christmas.

With loving prayers always yours,

Elder M. Stewart
