Easter time

.Easter was good! We had lunch at a members and worked the rest of the day, sharing the message of Christ to anyone and everyone we came in contact with.   Every single appointment we had, cancelled.  That about sums up our past week actually.  Every investigator we did have, dropped us, including Sierra who had a baptism date.  It's been so easy to get frustrated just because we feel like there is something else we can be doing but are unsure of what that is.  We're still doing a lot of finding and on average, getting about1-2 new investigators per day which is actually the highest thus far on my mission but we're having the hardest time having 2nd appointments with them!  Everyone we have been teaching lately is so flaky and we've realized that our faith in any appointments not cancelling is decreasing. We've been praying about it a lot these past few days and I am certain that the Lord is trying to teach me something.  I'm willing to do whatever it takes and I'm really trying different approaches in the way I talk to people and even just in my teaching.  On the bright side, there are a ton of other people to talk to when our appointments cancel. 'Tis the season that everyone is always outside and I absolutely love it.

I've been pondering a lot about the opportunity I have to testify of Christ this past week.  Last week, there was an incredible member that got up in testimony meeting and bore such a powerful testimony.  Relief society came around and there was another opportunity for testimonies. After about 2 seconds of that awkward silence where no one wants to be the first one to stand up, that same member stood up and said, "I don't want there ever to be a second that I could be bearing testimony of my Savior, and not taking the opportunity to do so."  It reminded of a scripture in 2 Nephi 25: 13 where Nephi expresses the same desire.  It says, "Behold, they will ^acrucify him; and after he is laid in a ^bsepulchre for the space of ^cthree days he shall ^drise from the dead, with healing in his wings; and all those who shall believe on his name shall be saved in the kingdom of God. Wherefore, my soul delighteth to prophesy concerning him, for I have ^eseen his day, and my heart doth magnify his holy name."
 I've thought a lot about this and about sweet sister and the example that she's been to me.  I, like Nephi "delight to prophesy concerning my Savior" and although that is what I have been called to do and I feel like that is what I spend so much of my time doing, I feel like I can testify even more not only through my words, but through my countenance and to really appreciate every second that I've been given to do so.

I wish I could say more, but my time is short. I hope all is well with you and I hope you know how much I love you. 

Love,
Sister Thiriot
