Happy Easter

We had a wonderful easter yesterday! A few of our friends came to church that haven't been in a while, and we were able to feel the spirit together. Then yesterday night we coordinated with the elders in our area to do a special easter activity. We went to a nearby trolley car stop and laid two big pieces of paper on the ground. Henderson Shimai then drew and easter bunny and then on a separate paper a picture of the savior. As she drew we stopped people and asked them what kind of connection the two pictures had and then we were able to discuss with them the true meaning of easter. It was so special getting to spend the entire evening talking to people about the peace we can obtain through turning to Christ and following him. We met a really special girl that we set up a return appointment with and are so excited to get to meet with her again. She just glowed and is so kind. 

At one point in the night I stopped a girl and asked if she knew who the person Henderson Shimai was drawing is. She said no and I then pointed to my name tag and said 'it's this Jesus Christ.' And I just got so overwhelmed with gratitude that I've gotten to wear the Saviors name over my heart the past year and a half. 

Hope everyone had a beautiful easter and was able to feel of the peace that comes because of our Savior Jesus Christ. 

All my love, Sundell Shimai 

We had to pass asayama san over to the elders this week. We got a picture with him In Our last lesson together though. 

Sweet random grandma this week sat down and talked with us and then pulled apples out of her backpack and gave them to us 

A Duck duck goose with our kids English class gets intense!

Cutest kids ever. We wer practicin words and on the board there was a picture and the word below it and Henderson Shimai erased the word beneath to test them if they knew it or not, and as she erased it she said 'oh no!' And e little boy on the left goes 'you're the one that erased it!' He's so cute and sassy.
