HELLO!!!!
how is the weather? are your lives super amazing?
The mission life is great, we volunteered at the special olympics (i actually learned things about softball which is crazy) but apparently there is something in the air here that i am allergic to, because MY FACE AND NECK HAVE BEEN COVERED IN SMALL HIVES AND I DONT KNOW WHY (apparently it happens to alot of people when they first come to Arizona)
so yeah thats fun, benadryl is slowly taking them away, but not many pics today because of that!
i have met some really awesome people this week, one of our Progressing investigators, reminds me so much of my nephew leroy! and i now can say i know an aussie!! (on of our investigators is from Australia, she gave me her bottle of benadryl until i can get some today i like her alot! she has PTSD from the Australian navy and some stuff they had to do, but she is amazing!)
Speaking of PTSD a guy in my ward is in the army, so he and his wife are putting on this thank the veterans thing in november and it has a five k with it! it is so cool and is such a great missionary opportunity and such a great service experience, we do not know what we are going to do yet, but we have been inviting alot of people (there are a ton of vets here) because they can be thanked for their service, and can find others who are going through what they are going through and get help (through many different ways... including Christ!) but yeah it is so cool!
this ward is amazing, they are great member missionaries, and just all around amazing people, even the in-actives have such strong testimonies! our zone leader elder Aholelei (yup you guessed it he is from Hawaii) was saying that people are being gathered here to hear the gospel, that is why they are so nice, they are looking for something that the gospel can provide for them. it is so true! even the people who are anti Mormon or not interested are nice! (most of the time we had aguy swear at us because we knocked at 7o-clock one night... really they need daylight savings time here this is nuts!)
haha i even fell off my bike this week! (my skirt got stuck on the seat when i was trying to get off) that was a blast!!!
its so cool seeing all of these little connections that are all over, my companion is related to the georges, she love bishop simpsons music, everyone has dogs, (which make me happy!!) one ladys grandson is a packers fan and the other is a saints fan (go Drescher!)
i love the gospel, i love the peace and comfort it brings and i love being a missionary! God knows us, he is the father of our spirits, He wants us to become more like him, which is why he created a perfect plan for us to return to him, one that was fulfilled by Jesus Christ. I know that He lives, i know that the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is his church restored to the earth, i know that the Book of Mormon is the the most correct book, a companion to the bible and most importantly it is a testament of Jesus Christ and our father in heaven. i know these things more now than i ever have before, because i have seen how these things can change people. its amazing and it is the good news that i am sharing. THERE IS A BALM IN GILEAD! THE GATES OF HEAVEN ARE STILL OPEN! GOD LOVES US AND KNOWS US! HE CREATED A PLAN FOR US! (this is me shouting it in text form from the rooftops)
Isnt that amazing?
Signing off till next week
