Hola Todos!

Sooo...the weather is spastic! It's sunny one day, then rainy, then windy, then random snow! It has been really fun foretell the forecast together..we're are usually off. :) But, I hope that everything is going great back home and that Easter was fun! Happy Birthday everyone that is coming up!! ( Kristen, Camie, I think Claire???) Ah, I'm sorry I don't remember all of them but know that I love you and that I'm grateful you were all born!

This week has been a good lesson week, we have been teaching so many members that have been going through hard times and lots of KIDS!! I think that is one of the highlights, is getting to teach families and doing it in really creative ways. My companion just stares at me because I like using random pictures and tying them into the topic. It pretty much always works! Hermana Engman is super awesome though. She is little bit too much of a perfectionist at times, but she has taught me a lot about the importance of being organized, being consistent, and being on time to things. We have been trying to keep the happy balance of being efficient and hard working, but also, keeping calm and enjoying the times when nothing works out the way we planned it.

This week we had a referral for a guy named Byron who we called a lot and the appts we set up fell through. Well we were persistent and we finally got to met him and his mom and found out about halfway through the first lesson that they are members and were baptized in Guatemaula a long time ago. I brought out the Book of Mormon and they both smiled really big, and we learned more about how he had wanted to be a missionary, he had wanted this life, but life happened and he lost sight of it and he told us how he has lacked the light and the peace that he once had. It was a powerful moment and I realized how easy it is is to let life get in the way of what is truly important. Which can ultimately lead us to unhappiness. I am trying to focus of the positives and blessings everyday because, everyday really is a gift witht the people we love. Love you all! I missed being with you for Easter but I look forward to talking to you on Mothers Day!!

con mucho amor,
Hermana Clement
