Elder Jacob Elgaaen in Jacksonville, Florida: 4-22-19 Happy Easter

This week was great. My email will be a bit shorter this week because I am fishing and so don't have much time to write. This week one of the great experiences we had was going over to a family we had previously taughts home and having lunch with them. We were able to have a super good lesson and JL was super supportive of our church and really loves it. His dad is a traveling pastor and he doesn't really like his dad's church and was fending for our church. It was pretty great! Besides that it was a pretty avarage week. We had a great tradeoff midweek and saw some great mrialces. We went over to a less active part member family and we had a great dinner and lesson with them. We were able to help the parents rekindle the feelings they had at baptism and when they first got into the church. It was cool to see how the spirit came when they recalled what the church had meant to them and what it does now.

We had a great Easter and got a lot of good food and had a lot of good times with the members. We also got to call home which is always a plus.

Today was probably the highlight. We met up with Grandpa Girard and had a wonderful day. We were able to go to St. Augustine and go to the lighthouse and then go fishing. I caught 2 flounder and kept them to cook. Should be a good eat!

It was a great week! I am so greatful for the wonderful blessing of Christ and all he did for us. Easter is such a great time. I know christ died for each of us and conquered death so we can live again! I am greatful for the gospel and hope that you all can feel the saviors love. It truly does mean the world!
