This week was really more eventful in the conclusion of the week. We went up to Guthrie one day this week because we were a little over on miles so we weren't able to drive around a lot. The day we were up there was one of the days that the Mason Lodge was having some of their large classes so we got to talk to a few of the people in that.
We biked around a lot of Edmond this week but nothing too much happened but it was still really fun. In the latter part of the week, people started coming outside more. On Saturday, in between the conference sessions, we went to Mitch Park and walked around. Turns out Edmond First Baptist Church was holding a massive easter egg hunt and we walked right in the middle of it! There weren't many people who would talk to us but we had a group of high school boy and girls that came up and had a few questions regarding "church history" and what are basic beliefs were. One of the kids asking questions was Seth and he is the preacher's son. He had really good questions and sounded sincere. We ended up giving our number out and later that day we got a phone call from Seth and he was really interested in knowing more of what we believe so we had a miny discussion over the phone and we are trying to set something up for later this week.
General Conference this week was so awesome! I am really excited for all of the changes and also with the new apostles! It was fun to hear all of their messages and how a lot of them were about increasing our own personal testimonies. I am accepting all of the challenges that they sent out and I am excited to see what happens.
For easter morning session we went to the church and watched conference and then right after we went to the Chandler family for an in between meal. It was potatoes and ham. We then booked it over to the Goodrich families home and watched conference there and then had dinner with them. It was ham and potatoes! So much Ham!!! It makes me think of Timone and Pumba from the Lion King singing the big pig song!!!! I loved this conference. It was so good and all the speakers were so good. All the changes are going to be interesting but they are going to be so beneficial!
Zone conference is so much fun. This last one was on certain topics that we get asked a lot like polygamy and deification so now we know what to study and how to respond to people! The chili here is so different, it is almost all just meat so that is really really nice! (Kyle has never loved beans in chili, in tacos, or anything but he is being a good sport and trying new things. I think that he might actually like Oklahoma chili.)

"The most important day in the history of mankind was the day when Jesus Christ, the living Son of God, won the victory over death and sin for all of God's children. And the most important day in your life and mine is the day when we learn to 'behold the man'; when we see Him for who He truly is, when we partake with all our heart and mind of His atoning power, and when with renewed enthusiasm and strength we commit to follow. May that be a day that recurs over and over and over again."
