Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hope everyone's St. Patricks Day was good! Apart from the parade, most people don't actually wear green. American's just make it a big deal haha :)

We weren't allowed to go into the city or anything for safety reasons so we made cookies and "sneakily" ding dong ditched them.

Apparently I am not a good "sneaker." 

OKAY. It's not my fault people hang out by their windows and I'm not very fast in a skirt soo... but it was so fun and the members loved it.

We went chalking and did a True or False about the Mormons. 

SO FUNNY.

We typed up all the crazy things people have asked us and asked them to people on the streets.

True or False
Mormons:
- can't wear red.

- can't kiss til they're married

- have horns

- have multiple wives

- don't believe in magnets

- have to take dad/brother with them on a date

and so on. (Those are all false by the way).

It was good for people to see that we really are normal!

Something I learned more fully this week about the Atonement was that Christ suffered just as we do. He literally suffered/experienced the same thing that we do. It wasn't any less because of who He was, it wasn't made any easier for Him. The same heart breaks, pain, guilt, sickness, and all else, He has felt. He has endured so that He can help us when we experience it. How much love He and our Heavenly Father have for us!

I am so grateful for this knowledge. I'm grateful I can serve and teach and wear Christ's name every day. Til the work is done!
