Happy Easter!

We were at Sister Chaves' last night and Erico made some delicious food that he created when he was in college and it was amazing. The best thing I could ever come up with was cereal, but the point of this is that he opened up to me and told me his past and it was really cool. We gave a thought about testimonies and conversions and I asked both of them to bear their testimonies on Sunday for Sacrament, and he said he was already singing for the choir and he needs to save his voice, but when I bore my testimony to him while looking straight into his eyes and asked him again he didn't say anything :) We will see but he is doing so good. He is reading the Old Testament and the Book of Mormon :) We were able to teach more about Christ and Easter to an adorable family this week, and teach them all the English words to the Easter category and they had a really hard time with Resurrection, and Crucifixion. I guess those words really are difficult. I am blessed to have learned English as a native language. It would be pretty complicated to understand otherwise. But as we were teaching about the characteristics of Christ, they ended up really enjoying learning about him when usually they are running around. They stayed put. What a blessing because then the Spirit was able to be present and it was a little tender mercy to truly testify of the Savior on how He helps us be better people. And that is why we are to be more like Him. I am grateful for Easter and the Spirit we are able to enjoy. I love my Savior and I am so grateful he did everything for me so that I can bless other people. When we look for opportunities to help someone else, they are always there. We were on the street the other day and we saw a man who appeared to be homeless, sleeping on a bench. I felt like I needed to help him, but I didn't know how. So then I looked around and saw a McDonald's. Sister Miller and I walked over and bought a burger off the dollar menu. We walked back hoping he was still there, he was :) Just snoozing away. We then tried waking him up, failed attempt. So we just left the burger next to his hand so when he woke up, he could see some food so he could eat. We have the capabilities and the right tools to help our brothers and sisters. Let us do that my friends :) Happy Easter! Liebe, Sister Tuschling
