Week 2 in Glendale

Week 2 here in G-Town has been great! Biking our lives away. It's
getting pretty hot. I'm loving life though. I have to get back in
shape some how from being in a car for so long. My mission president
has given me this wonderful opportunity to do so!

This week we did get a sweet new ride though. We got a car this week
for zone leader stuff. So when we need to go to meetings, pick up
other missionaries, or get supply orders, we have a vehicle to do it
in. We got a sweet mom van! I'm driving a Dodge Grand Caravan! It's
pretty fantastic.

This week Elder Katz and I got pretty determined to find a new
investigator. So on Friday we fasted. We started fasting Thursday
night after our planning. We prayed and said that we would fast until
we found a new investigator. We proselyted hard all day. Went to some
meetings and we're still fasting. Just before our dinner time, we
found a new person to teach! It was great! The power of fasting and
prayer have blessed us so much. We ended our week by finding 4 new
investigators!

The members we live with had a birthday party for their now 2 year old
granddaughter. When we came home, we got to play with all the party
stuff that was still up. We jumped in the bouncy house, hung out with
life size Frozen cut outs, and ate cupcakes. It was pretty fun. We
still have the Olaf cut out.

As I read from the New Testament this week, this scripture really
stood out to me:
1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example
of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in
faith, in purity."
This is what I'm striving for in my life. I want others to look at me
and know what I stand for by my words, conversation, charity, spirit,
faith, and purity. It is a privilege to know so much about Jesus
Christ. So many don't know Him as I do. I want to do everything I can
to help others learn of Him. One of the greatest way to do this is
being that example and exemplifying these characteristics, because
these are His characteristics.

I love you all! Have a great week!

We are trying to get in to more member homes, so we posted this on the
Ward Facebook page. I'm rocking some beautiful helmet hair.
