I memorized D&C section 4
Hola!
Sounds like y'all had a good time camping and everything! Looked really fun. This weekend was the BEST! With General Conference, Easter, and April Fool's Day, we had a lot of fun. The transfer board came out, and Hermana Winterton and I are staying in Northe Minne! Woohoo! I am so excited to keep serving here with her.
I started to feel a lot better on Tuesday which was a blessing! This past week we had some interesting stop-bys and doorstep encounters haha. I won't go into detail, but we ran into this guy who was super duper drunk and it was just so weird and hilarious. I was trying SO hard not to laugh at the things he was saying and everything that was going on but I literally couldn't contain myself haha. We also had the COOLEST doorstep encounter Hermana Winterton and I have ever had (and she's had a lot more than me). Like I said before, we really only try to knock on the doors where we hear Spanish. I listened in on this door, and I definitely didn't hear English so I just kinda assumed it would be Spanish. Well a guy from Liberia answered, and he said we were the first Mormons he has ever met. He asked really cool questions, and we taught him for a solid 15 minutes right there about the Restoration. It was just super super cool!
Hermana Winterton and I started teaching an English class at the church on Thursday! A bunch of people came, and we are going to make flyers and try to get it to be bigger.
So back to this weekend, WOW! I guess I never had a really good appreciation for General Conference than when I have been on my mission. We just watched it at the church both days with our district and the zone leaders. It was seriously so great, and I only fell asleep in 1 talk which has never happened before at home!! I loved a lot of the talks, but one of my favorites was on Sunday morning from Massimo de Feo. It was really good, President Nelson has made some pretty sweet changes, I am excited to see how it all goes!

| Breakfast at Hermana Fuente's house. Her and Hermana Patty are so sweet, they always feed the missionaries breakfast. There was a ton of food this morning for us. Soooo good |
We had some fun pranking the elders this past weekend for April Fool's day. Between White Castle burgers (which are way gross, please don't eat them), putting red food dye and elmers glue in face masks and giving it to them, (don't worry, it didn't stain their faces too bad, it washed off hahaha) and changing up the transfer board to say that they are both getting transferred, let's just say that we had a lot of fun :)

| We went with about half of the zone last Monday downtown Minneapolis and walked around and went to the Nicollet Mall and Viking's stadium. Super fun! |
I have been working really hard on my Spanish, and everyday Hermana Winterton gives me a new concept to learn and practice. Everyday I add something into one of my prayers or lessons that I have been working on. Almost every single appointment/dinner this week, the person has complimented my Spanish, knowing that I have only been here for a bit. It has made me SO happy you don't even know! I'm practicing hard :)
Easter was really great. This past week, we have been teaching a lot of members and kids about why we have Easter. I have loved being able to go through pictures of Christ and teach about all He did for us and that because of His resurrection, we can all live again with our families.
Thank you so much mom for the cute bracelets for Hermana Winterton and I! We love them!
Today I get to go to Mall of America for the first time :) I can't wait!
Feliz cumpleaños Jacob! I made you a video, thanks for being the best oldest brother! Have a fun day❤
I love you guys! Have a great week, enjoy work and school. Thank you for everything❤ I'm halfway through training baby! Yay!
Con amor,
Hermana Nissinen
