General Conference and Easter weekend...and funny English shirts

We haven't been able to watch conference over here yet. We'll watch some next week at church with the ward but I'm not sure how we'll do the rest. So tell me your favourite talk so I can at least make sure to get that one haha.

Crazy news over here: my beloved trio is being split up. The sannin power comes to an end. Our American (Sister Van Pelt) is headed over to a place called matsudo where the church building is 5 floors 😲😲😲 with the top floor being a gym 😲😲😲 also Matsudo is where my first companion Sister Dobbs got transfered to when she left me! So now my 2 trainers Sister Dobbs and Sister Van Pelt will be companions and STLs together. Me and Sister Borges (the Brazilian) will be staying here in Yachiyo another transfer together!!!! So glad I get to be with her again, she is amazing. It's also very convenient because we now have a spanish speaking investigator, and I speak no spanish. Everything I thought I knew in high school spanish has been completely tainted with Japanese hahah, but luckily Borges Shimai is a briliant human with so much faith and she pretty much just picked up / taught herself spanish during the 6 and a half months she's been in Japan.

Sister Borges is seriously amazing. Most diligent hard working person ever. Until this past transfer she was in a portuguese speaking area, so she hadn't actually had to use Japanese toooo much despite being in Japan, but still her Japanese is amazing and she's so confident, so although we're both slightly intimidated by not having Sister Van Pelt here (who is pretty much fluent), I know the Lord will make our best enough! Hope, faith, charity, and confidence, hahah that's we'll be striving for.

The weather is starting to get warmer over here the blossoms have all bloomed amd are starting to die now which is sad, but everything starting to get super green now which I love! And because the weather has been so nice so many cute happy people and families have been out and about. We've talked to people from the Philippines, Brazil, Peru, Taiwan, and the USA this week, and we have a new progressing investigator from Bolivia. She is super sweet and pretty, we've only met twice but I'm looking forward to getting to know her more. Transfer 3 here we come.

Oh ya! Yesterday was easter! It was just fast and testimony meeting for us over here haha but it was great. What did the fam do for easter? We had left over bentos and pizza from a ward activity and snacked on some digestive cookies, and a home made loaf of bread from the ward for easter dinner. It was great. Haha but I'd assume yours was a little more fancy.

Today we were in the mall and we saw this store that had some great english shirts I thought you might like to read. Especially mom, make sure my mother dear sees them.
