March

So it's not March anymore.  But here's what we were doing when it was March.  A month ago.


Just when I was wishing for some amazing inspiration, the Lord sent Sister Wixom the Primary General President to American Samoa.  I got to hear her speak and meet her afterwards.  She was so delightful, and I felt like my Father in Heaven was keenly aware of me and my wishes.


Over Spring Break we escaped to $2 Beach for a wonderful morning with the Scratch sisters, Corry's, and Nohira's.


  

I had to leave a little early to catch a plane to Apia for three days.

It was a quick but meaningful trip.  I got to stay with some wonderful people, go to the temple, and eat delicious food.  Thank you heaps to Kristin and the Berberts.  Then I got to have Sunday two times, since Samoa is a day ahead of us.  I really loved going to Pesega 5th ward.  I was surprised how many people I recognized and friends I had there.  It's like the Samoan version of MIW.  On my trip I felt peace, assurance, and confidence.  I felt like I could look back and recognize my personal growth and faith.  It gave me courage to move forward trusting in the Lord.





Easter was a week later.  We decorated eggs and did the hunt. 














 March was a good month.  A time of new beginnings and new hopes.
