{Holy Week}

Dear Loved Ones,
This week has been amazing!!!! So I got 2 huge packages from the BEST MOM IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!!!! It made my whole day! I got all these ADORABLE clothes, and unfortunately some extra unwanted attention, haha. I still have the best mom ever.

This week we got to teach this 15 year old boy who's Mom is inactive. I believe I mentioned him last week. Well, we absolutely love teaching him. He was reading the Book of Mormon before we even taught him. He just gets everything, and loves learning more. He also is a really good artist, so we asked him if he would draw the scripture stories that he reads to verify if he is reading. We also put a baptism date on him today, and it so happens to fall on his birthday. To our surprise he was actually really excited to have a baptism on his birthday. He is such an amazing youth, who already has such a strong testimony. He  is a really good example and motivation for his mom to go back to church as well.
{Sister Dunagan's Birthday}

Speaking of birthdays, Thursday was my companions birthday. Well I was really excited and told all of our investigators and members earlier in the week. It also happened to be on the last supper here in Paraguay, soooo.... we ate a lot of food! All of the members made the day super special for her, and we even ate 2 cakes!!! Well we ended up bringing home 2 cakes. I have not eaten so much food in a long time... we all went home feeling sick! But it was really neat to see the love the people have for my companion!
Friday we had divisions with the sister leader trainers. It was amazing. I love going on divisions and coming out a better missionary. I learned how to further my language and also be a better trainer. I love being pushed to become better, and I always feel more motivated after. Not to mention how awesome the sister leader trainers make you feel. 
Overall this week was really good. I hope everyone had a good Easter, and enjoyed time with their families. I was definitely thinking of mine this week, and all the blessings we have being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that Our Savior lives, and that he will return again. I know that through Him all things are possible, and we can feel a love that we have never felt before. I am so grateful for this knowledge and the opportunity to reflect on the Resurrection of Our Salvador this weekend. I love you all!
