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...WOW!!‏

im sure you are all dying to hear what is happening with me this transfer....

well i will be recieving a new companion tomorrow named hna bingham. she is from blackfoot idaho and will be going home at the end of this transfer. it was a big suprise because usually president doesnt move people their last transfer but well here we go.
that means that i will be starting my full-field this transfer. im so excited to be immersed in the work everyday and not have to worry about the VC. so AWESOME!! dont get me wrong i love the VC but i also need a break. i meant to bring my address to email so you could sent them directly to my house but the mission will forward them to me so dont worry about it.
this week has been pretty good. we have found some new potential investigators. are investigators we do have right now are kinding having troubles...i dunno what is going on but now we can work extra hard with them. im excited! i am a little nervous that my new comp will be trunky seeing as she has a boyfriend waiting for her in idaho...i understand i will be excited too but i hope we can just work hard.
we met this really interesting man yesterday...sis lopez approached him first and i guess he was like call her to him but she felt like she should just stay where she was...well them i go up to him and he starts yelling "see she's not afraid of me, am i that scary." he was drunk i think because i could smell alcohol on him. he was just odd. well finally i just said have a good day and we walked off...he was yelling "my blood is on your hands, its your fault my soul is lost." all because sister lopez was keeping the rules because if she had gone up to him we wouldnt be able to see each other. i know she was following the spirit and if she had moved further something bad wouldve happened. we have to follow the spirit always!
i had a funny experience or two this week...first of all i went on exchanges with sis collett on friday. it was so fun! we were out contacting people in the morning at this apartment complex. as we were getting out of the car i saw this guy and i was gonna go talk to him. well next thing i know i turn around and he is totally in his undies changing his pants...in the middle of a parking lot. smart?...i think NOT....GROSS...i think so. well i decided that was a good enough excuse not to talk to him. weirdest experience ever.
well to top that off earlier in the week we went to teach this man named lucio(before i tell the story i have to say sorry to Paul...you'll see why) well we taught what i thought was a lousy lesson 1 then he said a prayer which was really great. it was sincere and he really did a great job. well we were on our way out and as always we shook his hand...well sis lopez shook his hand first and next thing i know he is kissing her hand. at this point i know he's gonna do the same thing to me and i was like NOOOOOOOO...so awkard. so anyway i shook his hand and yes he did kiss it. i left just wanting to laugh so hard and at that moment my district leader called...so funny. anyways so sorry Paul my investigator kissed me. it was not a fun experience though.
i tell you the weirdest things happen to missionaries. i mean who else has people yelling at them about their salvation and kissing their hands. i guess im just lucky. well the work will go forth. i am loving life and i just cant believe that time is flying so fast. i hope you all are doing well.

remember i love you and share the gospel. there are people waiting to hear we just need to find them!!!
