Well Hello friends and family!!! how is life?
life in arizona is great!! and i am so excited to be here! i am serving in florence which is basically at the bottom of the mission! but it is great! its is just like hooper! (although cacti up the wazoo) it is great! and i am so happy to be here. AND THERE ARE COTTON FEILDS AND GIANT CACTI LIKE AS BIG AS A HOUSE!!! my trainer looks at me like i am crazy but it is so exciting!!!
also, can i just talk about how much i love her! turns out, she is cousins with some of my absolute favorite people back in hooper AKA the georges!! which is wonderful!! and she is just down right amazing! and i adore her! the people here are so nice, and so worried about us, part of our area covers Magic oasis, where there was one of those clown sightings, so everyone was really worried about us being out during awkward hour (7-8;30 where it is dark here yet we are knocking on doors its great)
but anywho, yesterday we were knocking there, and i thought i heard something, sister henderson noticed me moving so my back was to the LA house we were going to knock on during the prayer. and the suspicious look i gave the street so she asked me what was up, i didnt tell her until we got back in the car, then we moved 2-3 blocks down to check on another door, but we both just got this uneasy feeling in our tummies, and we didnt feel like we should get out of the car. anywho isnt that cool!! i dont tell you this to scare you or to be worried about me. i tell you this because heavenly father protects his servants!!! its crazy and amazing and just another testament to just how much he loves us! sorry about the typos i am typing fast and i think i am missing a few... oh well!
anyway yeah sister henderson is an amazing sister and i am learning so very very much from her! it is great and i adore her! she is so sweet and she puts up with so much because of me being a clueless little greenie!
haha the people out here are great, i really adore them! they are so willing to do missionary work and they have a love of the gospel, most of the ones i have met are converts and it is amazing to here their amazing testimonies! yesterday, they were literally lining up for testimony meeting! that hardly ever happened back home! and they are so humble and sweet! it is great! and didnt you love general conference!! almost every talk was about missionary work and prayer and conversion! isnt that amazing!
yes, i am still learning how to ride a bike in a dress, it is a challange but i am working on it, sister hederson says i am dong amazing, i dont know about that but i am working hard and trying to stay positive!! its amazing how much i still have to learn, but i will eventually and that is all that matters. there are alot of dirt roads down here, and there is one that isnt county maintained, so there are huge dips and washboards and just old couches, tires, and mattresses sitting in the middle of this dirt road. its GREAT!! (this is going out to magic) haha its a roller coaster (although a slow one so the vehicle monitor machine thing tiwi does not yell at us)
my house mates are beautiful human beings who i love, like really they are so sweet and i couldnt have asked for a better situation or a better place to be, my first day we met with a new investigator and his family, i really hope everything will go well for them!!
so question for my past and present missionary friends, do all missions have this missionary genealogy thing? basically, my trainer is my ma.. so that plus my three older sisters who mothered me, and my actual ma equals.... 5 MOMS NOW!!
also, got to talk about the zone in general, they are great. i love it here! and PRESIDENT WHEELER HOW COULD I FORGET HIM OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS HE IS WONDERFUL AND HIS WIFE IS SO SWEET AND THEY REMIND ME OF MY PARENTS AND IT IS GREAT!!! AHHHHHHHHHH president wheeler is amazing and i love him, and i am so excited to be in this mission!!!!!
there have been so many miracles and so many amazing things that have happened, what will have to suffice is that i am happy, healthy, hydrated, and so excited!
well i love you all so very much! thank you for the encouragement and support. it means the world to me!
THATS ALL FOLKS!
love you all!!
