Ahh! Wasn't it amazing! Can anybody say: FAMILIES! I felt like the main theme was become a truly converted disciple of Jesus Christ so that you can build up your family unto Christ and the only way to have a truly successful family is through Christ. It was so amazing! Even though we're missionaries and not married we got so much out of it. President Palmer is big on not just making us great missionaries, but great members of the Church. Everything we do as missionaries is preparing us to be better members of the Church, spouses, and parents. It reminded me so much of what Elder Holland said when he came to talk to us. We have to be truly converted to the Lord and that requires action. We cannot become lazy in our expression of faith to the Lord and think that we've already done it all We need to serve the Lord with all our hearts and only this will prevent the downfall of the family and of active members of the Church. The whole time we watched all we could think about were less-actives that we're teaching and investigators that we have and how we can be better future spouses and parents. It was so great! I can hardly wait for the Ensign to come out so that we can read it again! We spent two sessions in the stake center waiting for investigators (that did not come :( ) and one at the Douglas household with Steve the investigator and another with the McManus family. So good!

This was an amazing week. Unfortunately we spent the first few days just knocking. We didn't find too many people, but we definitely separated the wheat from the tarres (in reference to streets). Then the end of the week we had two solid days of appointments every hour! It was so great! I love teaching the Gospel and seeing it change peoples lives! And we have another on-date! So Steve was a referral from the Douglas family. A hilarious family that really reminds me of the parents off of Everybody Loves Raymond. Our first lesson was the night I spent half the lesson in the bathroom so I don't remember much about it. But we met with Steve on Thursday and he was just hungry to know. He was upset that we couldn't spend hours teaching and wanted to meet the next day. So we did. He read all the way through 1 Nephi 12 and couldn't put it down. He wanted to know what the tree of life was and what it meant. It was awesome! After we taught him he said " so we need to hold tightly onto the Word of God which is the Book of Mormon and other scripture to make it to Christ and accept His Atonment so that He can heal us and we can be happy. So I can truly be happy if I accept Christ and His Atonement." It was so awesome! Then he said that he feels so good when he reads and prays and meets with us. He said he wants to be a part of all this and he knows that it can make him happy. How can he become a part of this great church? It was truly the golden question. We invited him to baptism and he is going to be baptized on May 5! I love this Gospel! He went to both of Sunday sessions of conference and loved it.

Not much progress with the rest of our investigators, but that's okay because they will soon. We decided that we're going to drop the Lopez family. We feel like them not being able to feel of the spirit when we go over there will help them realize what they're missing and actually take action to have it in their lives themselves. The stake presidency agrees and thinks it will really help them. It's going to be hard because we've grown to love them so much, but they've lost so much of the desire and really need to start acting.

We had our last interviews with President Palmer ever. It was so sad, but super enlightening. Everytime we meet he makes us feel like we're the best missionary in the world. He's so amazing. He and Sister Palmer and just such great examples of truly trying to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Someday I want to be like that.

Well I love you all. I hope you all have a fantastic Easter and truly remember Christ in everything.

Don't forget what they said in conference "letters are amazing and can truly build a person up." :)

Love Sister Probst
