I love Easter (email dated 4/13/2009)

Well here on the island of Puerto Rico we had some great success this past week. The De Jesus Family excepted a baptismal date for the second of May and they were to church this sunday. Margie ( the mother) had a great experience during our gospel doctorins class and even during fast and testimony meeting also. During testimony bearing all the little De Jesus children got up to the pulpit fearless and bore their testimony's. It blew me away that they were so willing to participate their first time at church. Lela (11 years old ) went up there first and said she's so greatful that the missionary's found her and her family at her home. She Said it's like the Lord sent to her house 2 angels and that she's so thankful for them and she loves having us over every week to teach them the gospel. As she said all of this the spirit hit me like a hammer and all of the sudden a couple tears fell from my eyes. To be honest i've never felt that great during a meeting out here ever before. I dont know what it was but something made me realize that this is a family i've been looking for my entire time out here in Utuado. They are so prepared and i feel so blessed to have been lead by the Lord to them. I'm so thankful that this gospel blesses family's so much and am so gratefull to be an instrument in taking this gospel to others.

so anyway sorry i'm going to have to cut this email short because we have a zone Activity to go to.
remember i love you all so much and am greatful for your prayers.
Love always,
Elder Lopez
