This week was good 🙂 We were able to help one of the people we are teaching clean up her room and move some of her beds around. She is so awesome! She is very funny and makes us so happy! We have started reading through the Book of Mormon with her. She really likes it! She thought the chapter where Nephi goes to get the plates was super intense! We just read about the Tree of Life chapter and she thought it was so cool! She was very interested to see what everything represented. We helped her understand that the Tree of Life represents Jesus Christ, or the love of God, and the iron rod leading to the tree represents the word of God, or scriptures. She was like “That makes so much sense! Because you have to read the scriptures to come closer to Christ!” I love her so much! I love the story of the Tree of Life so much! It really shows the love God has for us. He has given us the help we need to follow the path back to him and feel of his love.

This week was May the 4th! Sis Williams and I wore our Jedi robes (aka super large cardigans that we found left in our apartment) all day. We had building cleaning that night at the church so we wore them to that and took pictures with the dusters as our light sabers 🙂 Fun times!

Ciao,
Sister Schroeder
