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!

transfer # 7 here i come...‏

Hola!!!!

well its another week down...i cant believe how fast the time is going. I think time goes like double on the mission. The easter pagent is done...it was way fun but very tiring. As always i ran into a few people i knew...i guess arizona is a popular place. I saw 2 people i use to work with at the health center and tyler morin from home. It was really nice as always to see a familiar face. The protestors were crazy this week. I guess they came from slc after conference. On saturday night we were outside during the pagent and they were screaming during the pagent. HOW RUDE! Well its not a big deal because people just want to know why people are so against us. Opposition in all things right. I didnt have any conflicts with anti this time...which i was glad for they just give me a big headache.
We have had some interesting experiences this week. For example yesterday i was talking to this man who didnt believe in Jesus Christ so i was testifying about him and he says(and i quote) “ i just think my heart is too hard for that right now.” i think thats the most honest answer ive heard in a long time. People's hearts are so hard right now and i dont really know why. It seems to be in our area...its kinda strange. The Lord is trying so hard to humble His people but they will not. I feel like the Savior's second coming is close and we have so much to prepare for still. Ive learned an important lesson this week. That is we need to respect everyone's believes even if we dont believe in them. I think of the article of faith that says we believe in freedom of religion basically. If we respect theirs they will respect ours. We cant help everyone to come unto Christ their hearts are just too hard and we can only do so much.
This is week 6 of the transfer meaning that saturday we will know what changes there will be. I think i will be staying another transfer but who knows with president bassett. I will be starting my 7th transfer!!! wow. Our investigators are doing ok. We are just trying to get them to act. We can teach only so much and then they have to act on the things we teach. They have to pray they have to read.
Its kinda of funny we continue finding people for the english missionaries. Its funny because we will go to church and see the people we talked to days earlier. Its all good we're just waiting for the Lord to open up the windows of heaven and let the miracles overflow. It will happen we just need patience. I am doing well. I hope you all are enjoying spring weather instead of snow...i sure am. I cant wait to hear from more of you next week. Oh my easter was good sister lopez and i sang in the branch with a member who comes out with us a lot. It went pretty well even though sister lopez pretty much had no voice. I havent sang so much in my life. Next week we are singing in another sacrament meeting. Crazy crazy life.

Well have a great week and write back soon.
i love you
