Tuesday was pretty chill. It was our temple pday so we got to go do a session in the Dallas temple! It's always cool to drive to Dallas because it's outside our mission... we also had dinner at a really cool Mexican place!
Wednesday was a lotttt of walking, I think we ended up doing like 4 hours on UNTs campus that day. There was also an Easter focused testimony event at the institute building that night. There was probably like 60 people there!! It was a great experience.
Thursday was much of the same as Wednesday. We had a lesson with Colin who recently got baptized and with our friend Damonte who's on date for April 12th!
We also went to a really cool burger place called Burger Time Machine... it was super good!! And then we had volleyball which was fun as always.
Friday we had another special institute class focused on the resurrection. We also had a service project at the local homeless shelter/food Bank. My companion and I and Korbin (a guy from our ward) were tasked with laundry which just meant we switched the loads and sat around for 30 minutes waiting for them to be finished. We had dinner at a placed called Rooster which was really good!
Saturday there wasn't much we did. I mean we tried visiting some inactive friends and invite them to church, but no one answered 🙃 . That's about it. Oh we also had grilled shrimp for dinner... that was realllly good.
Sunday was awesome!! Easter is always a great day being able to focus on Christ's atonement. Something really cool is that Colin who got baptized last week brought his non-member parents to church!! He also received Aaronic priesthood so that was so cool that his parents were there for that!
Anyway, I just want to share a brief testimony with yall that I know Jesus Christ lives and that because he was resurrected we can all be as well. I also know that similar to 3 Nephi chapter 11, Christ will tend to each of us and cares for us individually. I love the Savior and Heavenly Father and am so glad they have a plan for me!
"14 Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
15 And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come" - 3 Nephi 11: 14-15
