FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, CHILDREN OF GOD,  HAPPY EASTER!!! I hope you all had a fantastic day FULL of reflecting on the great goodness that is our Savior and his infinite resurrection. I know I did. What a blessing it is to know that He lives.  It was another weird week, full of ups and downs and everything in between. God is good. Everyday I find the tender mercies that He showers upon us. Many of those tender mercies came about this week because of our incredible members. I cannot say it enough Benicia, California has got to have the best members in the entire world.

We were also able to chat with people from Africa, the Phillipines, different states in the U.S., and more so that is COOL. GOD IS SOFTENING THE HEARTS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.  Speaking of worldwide I hope you ALL tuned in to the bomb general conference we had this weekend. IT WAS SO GOOD! SO INSPIRED! THE CHURCH IS TRUE. It was so weird just watching it from the apartment but I took comfort knowing that every single person watching arou...
