Happy Easter!! Oh my goodness has everyone watched Because of Him?? http://easter.mormon.org/?cid=HPTU041514694 I highly recommend it.  It has been such a beautiful Easter Weekend.  

Carlos received the Holy Ghost on Sunday!  And the baptism last week was amazing.  It was in 4 languages, ha ha.  It was the first time the German members had to use the headsets for translation while the meeting was in Spanish and English.  It is so cool how the ward is really trying to help Carlos and his mother feel welcome in the ward. 

My birthday was great!  Sister Dunlap made me mini french toast for breakfast.  Thank you for the package.  I'm wearing my new dress right now.  It fits perfectly!  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa.  I just got your package last week at zone training meeting.  

Monday is part of the Easter holiday everything was closed and that is why we are emailing today.  We took part of our p-day yesterday and rode the ferry and played on the beach for with our new district.  The beach is literally a 5-minute walk from our church building.  I wrote mormon.org everywhere in the sand.  A lot of people were asking about it and some ladies talked to the elders for about 15-20 minutes.  They gave them a Book of Mormon and we got their contact info.  

Ha, I swear we find more people on P-day than normal days.  It was supposed to rain, but it didn't.  The weather was beautiful!  It was a perfect birthday present.  Later we had dinner with a member who spoiled us rotten.  She made us dinner and we had mini cheesecakes.  I'll send pictures later. It was a great day!

I am gaining a testimony of the power of the spirit and the gift of tongues.  I cannot speak or understand any Spanish and yet we are able to teach a family of Spanish speakers and they can feel the spirit.  I'm not saying that to brag, this gospel is true and the spirit truly speaks to everyone!

Miracle this week: We have a member who just moved to Hamburg, she came to our ward for the first time on Sunday and guess what?!  She speaks Spanish and German!  Sister Dunlap and I teach or help teach Sunday school for the youth, all 3-4 of them.  The lesson is in English, German, and Italian.   It is “The Gift of Tongues” because they are all learning and feeling the spirit.

Guess what?! The Easter bunny did find us, haha.  I can finally fit my jeans again, but with all the treats we got, I don't think that will be a possibility anymore.  On Sunday we ate with two families.  At the dinner we had rabbit stew.  Haha, I ate the Easter bunny!  Then for dessert we had carrot cake!

Sorry this email is a little unorganized.  I want you all to know that I know the Book of Mormon is true.  It brings me so much comfort and peace.  It has strengthened my testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ. I know He lives and loves us.  This is one of my favorite Mormon Testimonies of the Book of Mormon messages http://www.mormonchannel.org/video/mormon-messages/topics/book-of-mormon?v=911029448001

I love you all!!  Have a fantastic week!
