Front Page Newspaper?

Iaorana!!!

Well, this has been quite a busy week! We found out the news about transfers and I'm leaving my area to Mesa! I'll be a district leader and training a newer missionary. I'm super super nervous and sad that I'm leaving such an amazing area. I'll miss Arizona City so much and I'll have to come back someday for sure. Transfers happen on Wednesday so we'll see how it goes!

This last week I found out that us missionaries were featured in the Coolidge newspaper! That's so exciting for us to be visible to others to see we love helping others! Me and a couple other of the missionaries are featured on the front page of the newspaper which is pretty fun to see.

I'll miss the Powers family so much, they are definitely one of the reasons why I came here to Arizona City. I've learned so much from them and I hope I was able to teach them something while I was here.

I loved all the service we did this week, we helped lots of people move, helped at the food bank, and worked lots of hours in the sun! Service is really so so important and it really embodies the characteristic of Charity and loving others that are in need! Service can be huge projects that take days or just a simple smile or treat can lift someone up. Take advantage of serving others!

One of my companions, Elder Hafen, wore his sweater over his shoulder and we thought it was funny so we copied him and took a picture!

The sunsets and the colors in the sky of Arizona are so beautiful, almost every night still I am blown away by how beautiful everything looks.

Paul is praying! It's great progress for him and I really wish to see him before I go and that he can continue to progress.

We met with Woody again and he opened up with us. The relationships you develop as a missionary are amazing. We shouldn't be robots! I hope things go well for him and that he gets baptized soon!!

I really hope to hear from you guys! I'd love any ideas for fun activities or things I could do with my new district as a district leader. As you can tell, I'm pretty nervous about it, but it'll be a good opportunity to learn and grow!

I love you all so much!!!! Until next week!
