Familia!
Sounds like you were able to have a great Easter! It is a little weird to think of dad sitting down in the pew instead of up on the stand haha. It's been a while since that's been the case! It's funny that you mentioned something about Uncle Pate, because I was going to say something about him this week! On Friday, a Tongan member took us out to eat and it turns out that he knows Pate! His name is Big John Vainisi. You'll have to shoot this email with the picture I'll attach to him somehow. Big John said that Pate was a hero rugby player back in the day.

We had a good Easter. We walked most of the day, but we had a quick lesson with a nice lady named Delia. She's a seventh day Adventist, but made it sound like she doesn't go to church a whole lot anymore because she's a little older. We set a return appointment with her for tomorrow, so hopefully we'll be able to set a date with her and get her to watch general conference with us! German made it to church yesterday. We ran into him on the street on Thursday and he invited us over on Saturday. He still wasn't quite ready to accept a solid date, so we're probably going to have to hand him over to the Lord for a little while longer. Mardo hasn't been making any effort to meet with us, so we've kind of turned him over as well. We had a good lesson with Eddi on Thursday and gave him a Book of Mormon to start reading. His mom has still been MIA, but we're supposed to be meeting with them tomorrow so we're hoping she'll be there!
I'm stoked for GC this weekend! Probably my favorite weekends on the mission haha. Better than holidays! Kind of sad that this is my last one as a missionary, but I'm really looking forward to it and I know it'll be packed full of great counsel. Make sure to have some questions in mind and they will get answered! I was reflecting in sacrament meeting yesterday on just how crucial Jesus Christ is in the great plan of happiness. I know He lives and am so grateful for the gospel that gives us the knowledge and understanding of what it is that we need to do in order to receive that fullness of happiness in this life and in the life to come. What a blessing! I hope you all have a great week and take advantage of general conference this weekend! Love you all!
