HAPPY EASTER!!

Hello Fam!!!!

And all others reading this we consider you family also,

First off, Dad, thank you so much for that thought about Helaman and the strippling warriors. That's cool:)

GRANDMA ANDREASEN!!! Thank you so much for being my Grandma! I love you and I hope you had a wonderful birthday!!

This week was so good, and ended with a bang. Yesterday, Easter, was one of the best Sundays I have ever been alive for. Elder Berg (Elder Miller's comp.) was sick so Elder Miller and I were together all day for THREE sacrament meetings. The first one, the Salem Ward, was good and the spirit was there but after sacrament we left to take the sickly elders back to the appartment so we missed half of it. Then at the end we met this lady named Robin who is one of Elder Miller/Berg's investigators. She was crying and explained how frustrated she was, torn between her church and this one. She wants our church to be true but has never felt the spirit here. We explained the type of feeling she should be searching for and promised if she kept an open mind and heart that day during the Kempsville ward sacrament meeting she would feel it. We told her we would pray for her the whole meeting. I got to stand in the circle for two of Elder Miller's new member's conformations (mouthfull) then the bishop of the Kempsville ward gave the most beautiful talk on the atonement and there were amazing musical numbers. Brother Heintzelman, who I interviewed for baptism, was sitting next to me just crying!!! I started tearing up haha. So after the meeting we went up to Robin and she said "it worked, I can't believe it worked" So I just said "what does that mean then?" She said she'll be coming back and she set up a lesson with elder Miller. So then we were off to the YSA branch. We met a new investigator last wed. that has jewish background named Clarissa, she thinks Jesus was a cool guy but didn't believe he is the son of God. We explained the atonement and the fact that we can not pay for our own sins. It was a cool lesson. She is the personal chef of a member that is in our ysa area and she is so cool. We told her we would fast all day sunday so that she could feel the spirit and get an answer to her prayers to know if Christ was her Savior. We did and she came and the sacrament meeting was full of the Spirit and amazing talks about the Atonement. PERFECT!!!!! She loved it. She understands!! She just has to figure out if she believes it now. (She does I can tell) ;)

Also, Lacy came. Can you say PROGRESSION?

We had some amazing things happen and we were very blessed. I don't have any time because I'm really slow at doing numbers and typing so I hope this does it justice. I have to go but I love you all so much!!!!!

Love,

Elder Skyler Mark Andreasen

P.S. I feel so rushed in my life right now.......

but I still choose Christ :)

Tell Seth and Jason GOOD WORK!!!!
