Mesa Arizona Temple

Mesa Arizona Temple
This is where I will serve part of my mission. It's so beautiful!

I'm going on a MISSION!!!!

As you all know I will be serving for the next 18 months in the Arizona Mesa Mission. My mission not only includes proselyting but also the Arizona Temple Visitor's Center. The best part is I get to learn Spanish! I'm so excited for the experiences I will have over these next 18 months. I would love to hear from everyone...seriously! I will write back those who write me so keep those letters coming, I know I am going to need them! Missionary work is tough. Once I leave on June 4th I will most likely not be able to keep up on the blog so I am putting my mom and sister in charge of that. They will post pictures and hopefully any emails I send. So keep updated on my crazy life these next 18 months. I'm so excited to get out and teach the gospel, it is going to be amazing! Thanks to everyone who has influenced my decision to go or who have supported me in my decision. You guys are awesome. I love you all!

P.S. - tender mercies

I thought I would share just a glimpse of the "tender mercies" Brittany experiences. One of her recent converts, Luis, has consistantly kept in contact with her as she continues to serve in other areas. He was one of her baptisms in her first area. Here is a little glimpse of the bits and pieces we get that I call "golden gems"...

mom and dad-
i forgot to tell you an amazing thing that happened. last night i saw my RC luis and he comes up to me and says "i got my patriarchal blessing tonight im from ephraim." i was like WHAT!!! i seriously almost cried because he is progressing in the gospel. he said that the patriarch said luis's blessing was like none other he's given. he said you have something very special. i know luis was one of the people i promised long ago i would find...and look here we are and he's doing amazing. on the days its hard luis lugo makes my mission worth it. i cant wait for you to meet him one day. when he goes through the temple in a year i plan on coming down for it. i cant wait!!!
i love you both.
