WEEK 36 - APACHE JUNCTION, AZ

July 11

This week a couple of super cool this happened! First of all, ok I'll

just tell the story. So me and Elder Vo were just talking about how

our time together is winding down and that we hadn't seen like tons of

success and it was just kinda sad and no joke a couple days later we

had a return appointment with an investigator that has been

investigating for like 6 months. We haven't met with her for a couple

of weeks but we last left her with praying about our church and

focusing on the answers. We came back and sat down with her and the

first thing she said is "I want to get baptized next month" 😳 Nice!

So cool! She was saying how she has been receiving her answers but she

just hasn't realized it was the Holy Ghost! So cool! We set a date for

August 6th! But then she didn't come to church because her dog was

sick... Hahah so we will talk to her about that but her name is summer

and she's super cool!

Let's see.. Last week we did district lunch after our meeting. Haha

I'm just trying to make our meetings more fun. We also went to the

temple! It is such a blessing to be able to go every six weeks. I love

the temple. I love that we can feel so close to our Heavenly Father!

I also want to share something I read I think in one of Ben's letters,

but it was talking about how you can work as hard as you can but as

long as your desires aren't heavenly fathers your mission will be a

lot harder and you won't enjoy as much! And I can testify I tried so

hard to forget of myself when I was trying to meet him and I felt so

happy! It was an amazing lesson too! I know that that's how I will

enjoy the most of my mission!:) I love you all! I know our Heavenly

Father is there and our prayers are answered when we are humble enough

to listen! :)

My first "monsoon" storm in AZ

July11

Thanks so much for sending me emails. It just hit me how grateful I

am:) No Fenton has two more transfers left! It's super weird! After

that there's a "death cycle" of every two transfers missionaries

finish their missions until me! Hahha so it's going to be really

weird! Don't even worry I love reading the letters even though I am

not good at replying! Hey I don't know how much money is on my card...

But if there isn't enough can you put money on my card to get a really

nice picture of Jesus?:) hahaha my patience has been tested mommy.

None to say he least I'll be a pretty patient guy by the end of my

mission :) lol with my missionaries I serve with but I love them to

death! It's so true though! The summer is flying by, I'm actually

pretty nervous that my mission is going by fast. I'm nervous I'm going

to by a zone leader soon. There's so much work to do and I don't want to have that responsibility haha but I'll do what the Lord says!:) I love you mom!
