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!

week 1...transfer #9 :-s‏

Hey!
Well its incredible cool today at 82 degrees....crazy!!! its only because it rained last night. But you know what happened the other day in the heat of the summer...our AC broke. So so so fun!!! not!! but luckily they got it fixed and luckily we have a basement that we could sleep in last night....my crazy life.
Well as you all know i have a new comp sister castillo. She is so awesome!! im lucky that 99% of my companions i have liked. We've seen some miracles already. The area has tons of people...so i speak spanish all the time and i love it! Its an area that they combined a few transfers ago and hopefully next transfer it will be divided. Yesterday when we were out it was so awesome!! we went to contact a referall and when we got out of the car we saw this lady sitting under the tree so we decided to talk to her. Well as we walked up to her i noticed she was reading none other then THE BOOK OF MORMON!!! crazy...so we had the opportunity to teach her right there. It turns out she almost got baptized 2 years ago but because of problems with her sister in law, who is a less active member, she did not...she is going to be baptized this transfer:) we also had a FHE with a family yesterday. Everyone is members but the mom. She wants to be baptized the only problem is that she needs to get divorced from her 1st husband so she and Moises can get married. Well the spirit was so strong and we decided to set a date with her for the 15th of august. So keep berta in your prayers...we need a miracle because her husband doesnt want to sign the papers and is making it really hard for the divorce to go thru. But i know if berta does her part the Lord will permit us to see this miracle. It felt the spirit so strongly telling us we needed to set the date with her. She is willing just a little lazy. I looked forward to serving in this area. Im pretty sure it will be where i die. In mission terms that means i will end my mission here. I just love the people in this area! I cant believe we are going into august next week...time will not slow down. My comp leaves in 5 weeks...she's not trunky yet and im trying to help her stay focused. I hope that everyone is doing well.

Know that i miss and love you all sooooooo much!!! have a great week.
