pictures from the last 6 weeks bc slacker

7 Transfers. 6 Companions. 5 Areas.

So Sister Macie is heading off of her mission tomorrow morning, so of course we thought that I'd stay in the area and lead it out.

WRONG. I'm getting transferred, too. 

Hints the subject of my letter.

I will be in 5 out of 10 zones in the mission. My goal is to get to every single zone. 

So last Saturday Gracie and Avery Hull got baptized! I don't know how in the world I missed writing that in my last email, but I did send the picture..so that counts. 

On Wednesday we went to the Reed's house and wielded stuff. It was so cool!

So this week I was joking around with some kids in my ward telling them to break my leg so that I'd get to have a car. Well, I started riding a skateboard and hit a big rock and BUSTED my butt on the ground. So skateboards = satanic. 

"sometimes you have to lose your life to find it."

I love my mission. I love that everything in the world fell apart a year ago. 

I love that I love that I lost my purpose. I love that I had to start from the bottom and pick myself up. My mission has helped me do that. God has helped me do it. He has helped break me down and pick me up to be the person that I needed to be. Not the person I was a year ago, and I'm glad that I'm not.

Let God help form you into the person you need to be. 

Let Him into your life. 

STAY GOLDEN EVERYONE!

sorry this week's email is going to stink, but here's what happened this week.

1. My DL, his comp, my comp, and I got to do baptisms at the temple this week.

2. Thursday our whole zone went to the temple and did a session.

Saturday I went to the temple with one of my less actives from my last area. 

4. Elder Cornish of the 70 came to speak to my mission yesterday, and it was the most amazing experience that I've had on my mission. What's scary is that he told me that he knows some of my family. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but he did hug me. Which is totally against mission rules, but a 70 did it...so I didn't say anything haha. 

I'm loving my mission so so much. I'm so glad that I'm in Arizona. This is truly the work of the Lord. I'm so glad that I get to do this work for the next 9 months of my life, and even after when I get home. 

5. I got surprise visitors on Sunday ;) 

6. Last night Sister Macie and I got to work the concession stands at the church softball games. I even got to hit a few balls ;) 

STAY GOLDEN EVERYONE!
