Easter is coming!

I know this is a super short email, but here goes :). So we are doing much better with member work this week!!! Yay! We have two members that live in our area and they are less active, so member work is a bit difficult, but we are finding success! A recent convert, named Jonathon came out teaching with us this week and it was awesome!! I was so touched, as were our investigators by his testimony. He wasn't afraid to share what he knew, not even a bit and he was able to teach with power and love because of it. The influence of members is so great and powerful and necessary. Missionaries are there for a few months, but members stay. I invite all of you to make it a goal to go out with the missionaries once a month. This coming month is the perfect time. The Savior did everything He could do for us to have eternal life; we can do a little and a lot to help others have it too <3 :). I love you all and I am really grateful for the encouragement you give me!! I know we are all where we are at for a reason, usually for many reasons and whatever situation we are in, no matter how difficult, can work out for our gain, and for others, if we ask our Heavenly Father what He wants us to do. "What lack I yet?". Much love!!!! -Sister Conrad

p.s. put your best foot forward!

This week was super busy with transfers and the new senior couple coming in, but I am so happy about
 it all!!!!:d Sister Timaia is here!!!! And the new Senior couple is ON TOP of it, you'd think they'd done this
 a hundred times, they are so awesome! They are Elder and Sister Leavitt, their from Canada. Well, we didn't
 have a ton of time to teach this week, but we did have some important lessons :D We have a new
 investigator named Pamela and she has been wondering how she can know which church is true and it was
so great to be able to teach her of the Restoration :D. We also got to have another lesson with John, in
which a member translated into Pateau for us, and every time the spirit is just so strong with Him. Joan is
doing well spiritually, we introduced to her what we call, "Joan Pathway to Baptism" and she LOVES it! :D
 She has such a strong desire for her family to partake of the gospel also, and isn't that just a wonderful
 sign of conversion? Last night we had one of the toughest lessons of my life!
 Sister Maico and I were shredded up and told we were liars and that we believed Christ was a liar and all
 we were left with was our sincere and unshaking testimonies that we knew from God that we were sharing
 was true. Again and again, that's what it came to, that we simply would not deny that God had answered
 our honest prayers and the we knew that the Jesus Christ is our Savior and that Joseph Smith is a prophet
 of God. I am deeply grateful to have such an experience where I am left with nothing, but my own
testimony of the Gospel and that I get to stand up for my God and His doctrine. My testimony grew last
 night. I know that this is the only true and living church upon the face of the whole Earth. "You shall know
 them by their fruits". I love my Savior Jesus Christ and my Father in Heaven. They are directing this work
 and it is WONDERFUL.
