A new transfer

One transfer down in this new area. The first couple of weeks felt like they were dragging on, but these past few weeks blew by. It's hard to fathom that I've been here for 6 weeks! This area is so far different now then when I got here. We're actually teaching people, we have someone on date to be baptized, our wards are asking us to come over, and I'm actually loving it here! It's so great!

This week was a slower one in the way of working with non members. 4 of our investigators couldn't meet with us. There out having too much summer fun. We worked a lot with the members though! We're building good relationships with them and it's been a really good time!

Taylor, our 15 year old investigator with Down Syndrome, had a really sweet experience this week. The young women in her ward did a temple super trip. They went to all 5 Arizona temples in 2 days. They did 507 baptisms and confirmations. They invited Taylor to go with them. She can't go into the temple yet, but the girls took turns being with her and going to the visitor centers, walking the grounds, and chatting with her. All of them told us that she couldn't stop talking about her baptism and how excited she is! All the young women decided that the week after Taylor's baptism, they're going to go back to the temple as a group and do baptisms with Taylor! She's continuing to progress through the lessons. She's incredible and I'm so humbled by this wonderful opportunity I have to teach her.

We continue to teach Paige and Brennan. They're the 2 children who live with they're aunt and uncle. They're so much fun to teach and have a lot of energy! They absorb information like a sponge and love to learn about the gospel! Plus we continue to play with the puppies every time we go over there so it just makes it that much better!

This week I just want to let you all know that I know I'm suppose to be on a mission. The people I've met, the things I've had to overcome, and the lessons I've learned since I've come out here have reassured me that I'm suppose to be here. This has been an incredibly hard 9 months, but the happiness 9 months of my life. I love being a missionary!

I love you all and hope you all are doing wonderfully! :)

This is where I live, we live in the basement. The couple we live with are great!

I love playing with the he puppies each week 

I participated in Kimmy's wedding by wearing the wedding attire on the day of the wedding. 

 It's still a little rough, but I've only been working on this for a

week. I'm reteaching myself piano! I want to have a few hymns down and
memorized so I can play if needed at a meeting. This is the first one
I've started because I love it ️️
