I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures! I would have to agree that I pull
off the three piece rather well. I have some more pictures for you
today as well. So get ready!!
This week was AWESOME! I'm going to give you a brief day by day
overview like I have before. That's awesome you were able to meet
those three members from the Quorum of the Twelve, and First
Presidency. They really are incredible men!
On Monday we randomly drove out to Apache Junction and climbed a
mountain in full Proselyting attire in order to obtain a CD fromoff the three piece rather well. I have some more pictures for you
today as well. So get ready!!

On Monday we randomly drove out to Apache Junction and climbed a
another missionary. Don't worry we survived and we got our CD. That
evening me and Elder Ault went to Brother J' house to see his new
pet... A Hawk!! He caught it and is training it now. We both got to
hold it, I was terrified, and we are going by sometime this week with
Amos and Lanaya to teach them and feed the Hawk with them! I have some
pictures of them I will send.
We saw a pretty cool miracle on Tuesday. I went on an exchange with
Elder Coulston, who is the District Leader in the Mountain View Stake,
and he came to my area for the day. As we were planning the night
before we set some pretty faith filled goals hoping The Lord would
supply us as we worked hard. The next morning a potential, Betty, that
we had been trying to contact for almost a month finally called us and
we set up an appointment for that night. We have been able to teach
her a total of three times now, she came to church yesterday, and
invited herself to Lanaya's baptism this coming Saturday. And she also
said she wished there was another hour of church... She's awesome!!
On Wednesday we had Zone Training Meeting. It went pretty well. We had
to train in Planning so it may have been a little dry but it was
necessary. We still have the biggest Zone in the mission so it's
pretty fun. We have a lot of different personalities and ideas so it
works out really well.
On Thursday Amos and Lanaya got married! To answer your question Amos
is already a member. He hasn't been active in a long time though. He
was raised by a foster family in Lavan, UT but I think he stopped
attending when he went back to the reservation when he was in his
early 20's. And they're in their mid 50's now. But he is coming back
and bringing Lanaya with him! Their wedding was an awesome experience.
On Friday was Riley, Tate, & Talan's baptism. It was fantastic! There
were so many people there. All of his family, who were largely less
active, and a large amount of the Ward. It was different having them
get confirmed at the baptism since we usually do that at sacrament
meeting but it was a great service! Me and Elder Ault got to teach as
they changed it and that's always fun! ALSO that night as me and Elder
Ault were driving home we decided we wanted to hurry and pull through
the McDonald's drive thru and get some Powerade before we headed in.
As we pulled in we saw a very homeless man pushing a cart full of
garbage bags and crosses. So we decided we would treat him to dinner.
We bought him 2 McDoubles and a large Powerade. We parked the car and
chased him down a bit, he wasn't too quick so it was easy, and gave
him dinner. Morale of the story: Go serve someone TODAY. There's no
greater feeling.
Saturday morning we went over to a new members house in the Ward, Bro
W..., and helped him tear out his swimming pool. It was my first
time in a pool in 16 months! Granted there was no water but still
haha. If it doesn't sound like it I can promise you that tearing out a
swimming pool is no easy job. I used a jackhammer for the first time
in my life and my forearms are still paying for it. It was fun though
and he's an awesome guy, has a pretty gnarly beard. Also on Saturday
Lanaya passed her baptismal interview!
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Amos was ordained a Priest in preparation for
Saturday. He is going to be baptizing Lanaya!! Pretty incredible, I
love them so much. We also went down to the Stake Center last night
and taught Amos the prayer he would say at he baptism, he's so nervous
but he will be awesome.
So that's our week! After this week when Lanaya gets baptized we will
only have Betty left to teach so we are in finding mode as of.... The
last week or so haha. We have a couple things in the works that we
hope will pan out. Keep Lanaya in your prayers, she has a lot trying
to keep her from going through, she's strong though and I know she
will make it. Tomorrow I'm giving a training at Zone Conference, still
a little nervous, but excited.
