Lovin' this missionary life!

Lovin' this missionary life!

We started calling Phoenix P-Town this week. This came about because one of the missionaries we live with is from Georgia, and he references Atlanta as A-Town all the time. Plus I'm from O-Town. So now Phoenix is P-Town. We think this is hilarious because we're missionaries and things like that are really funny.

We were walking around and we were passing by a gas station. A man hollered at us and told us to come to him. So we did. He took us into the gas station and bought us drinks and a bottle of water! It was super nice because it was a hot day and we had been walking for a long time!

We went over to a ladies house that we had contacted a couple of weeks ago. We felt inspired to go with shovels and a wheelbarrow. We weren't sure why, but we followed the prompting. We walked over there and found her on the ground pumping up a wheelbarrow tire. It was flat and she had a lot of rocks to move. We helped her move and spread the rock. She's now interested in meeting with us!

We also got to do another service project this week! A ton of guys from the ward showed up to help so we didn't end up doing much. Our bishop chainsawed down a tree. Then they took the other chainsaws and chopped it into chunks. We carried those to a truck and that was that. It was a good time and fun to talk with all the guys in our ward down here.

We went over to a member's house this week and they gave us knives! Brand new pocket knives! They're super sweet! I'll send you a picture of me and my companion with them! They said they got us them because we're working so hard and they think we're good missionaries. So that was super nice of them and brightened my week!

One of our investigators geeked out with us this week. He's a software engineer/programmer. He makes apps and different things for windows devices. There is a thing called hallow lens coming out. Windows already has the prototypes. It pretty much makes your whole house virtually interactive. It's sweet! Our investigator is going to a conference in Washington next week to be one of the first people to be able to play with it! He said he might even get one to take home to start making software for it. Which means I'll be able to be one of the first people to see it as well! He also told us all about StarWars 7 and the new StarWars Battlefront. We nerded over that for a while too. It was great! On a spiritual note...he's reading the Book of Mormon every day! So that's fantastic!!!!

Well that was my week! I love you all!
