This week has been good. We ended last evening teaching Kiersten, she's dating one of the priests in the ward, and we were able to meet at a members home. The lesson was good, doctrine was taught, our teaching was off a lot though, but thankfully the members definitely reached out to her more than we missionaries could and really brought the Spirit. There were like 12 members, 2 missionaries, and 1 seeker of truth at the lesson. It's a testimony builder to me that members are the key to missionary work. We teach, but they can definitely relate extensively more. I've thought a lot of that recently, and what it will be like to play the role of the member working with missionaries. I would think that the probability of my social awkwardness will no doubt be noticed in 6 months time. Quack.
Teaching lots of others this week, overall I don't know what else to say just that it was good. They say to hide Easter eggs, and then to find them. I say do the same, but in a spiritual sense hide your spiritual (not hardboiled) eggs and take the time to find them and look for them throughout this year. Coming across them at times when you need more peace, more reverence, more faith, or even more joy. Atonement of Christ. He lives, and I know he loves us. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Happy Easter!
elder adam black
My life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me;
I cannot choose the colors
He worketh steadily.
Ofttimes He weaveth sorrow
And I in foolish pride,
Forget that He seeth the upper,
And I the under side.
Not till the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver’s skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
~ C. S. Lewis, At the BreakfastTable, p. xxv
