WEEK 60- this wee has been sick!!! Also, 10 months left...

First off thank you all for the Happy Birthday wishes. I had an amazing day even though half of it was fast Sunday..

But onto the good stuff. Me and my new comp have had a blast the past 3 weeks, but while doing the work. 1. My Comp and I love to explore. 2. Mesa Visitor Center. 3. Cryo Treatments

1.)  For this week we set out on a quest to find the attic to every building in our stake and have Comp Study up there, and boy did we succeed. 4 buildings in 4 days with 4 attics. We had a lot of fun with this. So we have a Master key, and we would go around to every door trying to find the stairs or latter to the attic. It's really creepy up there. It feels like there are people up there with you and they are just watching you as you dip, weave, and crawl over the 2 x 4 beams. Or the air vents.

2.) So 2 times this week we went to the Mesa Temple Visitor Center. Once we went with a Recent Convert, Jason Hair, and we were able to teach him about the power of the Temple. He is so easy going he had no questions.. He just wanted to get right into doing Temple work. And the other time we went was with another Recent Convert, Julia Kearney, and she is the same way. We taught about the Sealing power of the Temple, and how the work that we do in there is sacred. Well no questions came from her either. She already has an appointment with Bishop Thursday to receive her Temple Recommend. But, both times we went it was very spiritual, and cool to bear testimony of something you love. I love the Temple. And I am truly blessed to have a Temple in my mission. A lot of missionaries don't have the opportunity to attend the Temple while on their mission.

3.) Okay "COOLEST" part of my week. You can say me and my Comp have been the COLDEST any missionary had ever been while being on their mission... And I am in FREAKING AZ!!! So their is place owned by a member from my comps last area and he told us to come in on a P-day and come try it out, and we did!! It was crazy! It's called Cold Front Cryo. It's like a mini one body freezing sauna, and boy does it work wonders. You get into this capsule, and they select regular (-284 degrees), intense (-292 degrees), strong (-306 degrees), or extreme (-321 degrees). They turn it on and then the capsule gets filled with Nitrogen, and it is COLD... I choose the -306 degrees for 3 minutes. What it's supposed to do is burns calories, boosts your mood, soothes aches, and takes away soreness. It was amazing! We also got to wear these sick white robs, with old grandpa tube socks, and the best part.... CROCS!!! Me and Chadwick were looking flyyyy!

Well there are the highlights of my weeks! Thank you again for all the birthday wishes! I love you all. Have a good week, and God Bless!!!

WEEK 58---"How can sky be the limit when there's footprints on the Moon?"

Alright so I got a new Companion and I am so excited for these next 6 weeks. His name is Elder Chadwick. He has been out 17 months, so only 2 transfers ahead of me. He is from Windsor, Colorado. Just East of Fort Collins. He is a STUD! This past week we have seen a lot of good come from our long hours of biking and the hard work we've been putting in. But let's start with my favorite. A funny moment. This may not be funny to you but it brought a smile to my face.
So we were looking through the area book to see who we could stop by before we went to dinner. Well a name Colette Cordner came up and it sounded to familiar, I was like oh sweet let's go see her. We looked up the address and started to bike there. We got there and I just couldn't figure out why the name was familiar to me. Well we knocked on the door and I just laughed and Elder Chadwick gave me this look like why are you laughing!? And I said, "Hey Sister Cordner how are you doing?? Elder Chadwick meet the former relief Society President." She replied with, "Fine! What can I do for you Elders?" So, we shared with her that we had a referral to stop by her because she had filled out a card at a concert that Gladys Knight put on like a year ago and the referral had just come through. Then she told us she only filled that card out to get the free CD... So this "golden referral" ended up being a freaking amazing member.. Funny right? -_-

Anyways... Investigator updates: We still have a set baptism the Saturday and we are stoked! All we need is an interview and we are good to go. We have a couple investigators progressing really well. Our investigator Wilson just moved out of our area which sucks.. Jason Hair is doing very well and he received the Aaronic Priesthood on Sunday!! As you can see things are doing just fine here in ole' Gilbert, AZ!

This week we were able to meet a few new people who are wanting to know more about the Gospel and it gets me so excited! We met the sweetest old lady that asked us to come back. So we are gonna go back and teach her about the Restoration of the Gospel. We met a young man who said he was interested, but will have to talk to his parents so we will see how that goes. We also met an elderly man who says he hates all religions, but ours has always stuck out to him. He's the one I'm excited for. This next Monday I hope I have stories for you all.

Well I love you guys and thank you for all the prayers I am grateful to have family and friends like you all. have a good week!!
