We had such a good week! It started off with a Book of Mormon request last Monday! We went and she was so excited to read the Book of Mormon!! She said she would take notes and everything! She is so prepared! And while we were there, there was a girl who was over at her house who came up and said that she'd read from the Book of Mormon before and gone to church with her Grandpa Ray! So we talked to her for a bit and determined that her grandpa is a member in the English ward! So we went by the next day and they are absolutely amazing! They are totally on board with having a Reedley branch, and are willing to help us reactivate people and get them to church! It is awesome!
I had a really cool insight this week. One of the ritual foods of Passover is the bitter herbs, which one of my religion professors said is like horseradish. So you put the horseradish in your mouth, and of course it kind of burns, and then you eat a piece of the matzah, the unleavened bread, and it draws all the bitterness out. And it reminded me that the Bread of Life can draw the bitterness of sin out of us.
Also, an abuelito gave us boquetes of roses on Saturday! They are gorgeous!
Have a great week!
