Easter

Happy Easter Everyone,

If I were to relate my Week to an Easter Egg hunt this is how it would be:

1.Tuesday we found a nice, perfectly decorated egg and is quite fit for the holiday. It was waiting to be found and was excited when the seeker discovered it.
2.That same evening we saw another egg that we have seen for a while, but haven't really been able to reach, and finally we were able to grab it. Only was it till two days later that we discovered it was not ready to be found.
3. Egg that would rather stay dressed in white, than be decorated

1. We found a new investigator named Amanda, we taught her on her front porch, and she was so ready. She accepted a baptismal date in the first lesson and has a very strong desire to be baptized. She has a long list of things to work thru but she is determined.

2. Pam - We taught her Tuesday and she was glad to see us. She enjoyed conference, read from the Book of Mormon everyday and seemed to have a testimony of the church. We invited her to baptism for Easter Sunday, she said she would really like to be! What a miracle! We taught her the following day to finish up the last few bits and she was committed to living the commandments, but was planning to attend both churches. Her testimony wasn't quite there yet. We invited her to pray. We came back the next day and she dropped us, with a lengthy letter. It went from baptism sunday to no longer teaching. It was really rough.

3. Vince is doing very well. He is getting excited to be baptized in the future. He went up to DC this weekend for spring break with his family and they were planning on stopping by the DC temple visitor center.

We had a really fun dinner with a bunch of families for Easter. Most of them are Utah transplants in Medical School. The night ended with a part member family we have been teaching - the Dorseys. Her name is Angela and she goes by Gigi! How crazy is that? Plus they live on Sherwood Lane. We ate ramps. They are these tiny potent onion things. My stomach was churning all night. I would not recommend eating them off the root.

I love you and I have a video and package on the way home! Hope you enjoy it.

Much Love,
Elder Dumke
