Week 6.. but really week 9 lol so will start from date going into M.T.C.

This week has been amazing! We had a lesson for almost every hour. We have been meeting a lot of great people. We have 6 people on date for Baptism! The one last week got pushed back because he wants to invite his mom and have us teach her. He is going to be baptized this coming Saturday!

I love it here! But it is so hot! I am so ready for winter! We got a call from the Assistants and they are impressed on how well our area is doing. They said it usually takes 2 to 3 transfers to clean up an much as we had too. We had a lesson every hour so we biked a lot. It is sad when you are biking and you aren't sweating. All the moisture here is sucked right up. Love you I'll call y'all tonight!

what a good looking group.. but notice Elder Atkinson is the only one NOT wearing his suit jacket =)

HOT Week 3!!

It is so hot down here! It's going to be 111 throughout this next week. It is amazing in Maricopa! Besides its hot. The loaner bike here are horrible, I've popped two tires and none of the bike tires are true. It's like riding a clown bike. We have ran into a lot of people who belong at moms work. We have cleaned up the area book and have found a lot of people to teach and have put many on date. But we won't be baptizing them we put the, on date on a street contact and are sending them of the the YSA Elders. Because of that we are finding a lot more people and families. The only problem is people move all the time. Ten families have moved in the past two weeks. Our legs are so soar. We live 3 miles out of our area so we are getting some awesome leg workouts. There are a lot of rabbits and coyotes out here. Along with lizards, scorpions, snakes, and owls.

Week 2 in Arizona.

This week has been awesome! We cleaned the house and the mission came over for house inspections. Elder Peterson cried. He said that the house hasn't been this clean for a long time. He was so happy he got us new furniture. We got it in and that night we had a very unpleasant meeting with a fallen brother... We had to cast it out and bless the home several times. Mainly because we were scared and we wanted to bless the home in every room of the house. The next morning we found a mark on a dresser. We wiped it off and drew a smiley face. So the priesthood works! We never want to deal with that again.. The previous Elders made a throne with plants and other stuff. What ever spirit was there didn't like us throwing it away. Other than that experience we have had a great time! 

     Me and Elder Cahoon met a nice member, Brother Duke. He told us a bit about his neighbors, we left with a prayer that we would have success. 5 minutes later we knocked on his neighbors house a young guy answered the door and said dawg I've been praying to be baptized. I want a fresh start and this is a sign from God. He quickly Accepted the Baptism date of June 18th. He is excited to learn about the word as he said. He is tight with the word of God but wants to be tighter. 

I'm meeting with Elder Allison later today to finish the passport stuff. 

I'm very disappointed in the Young men! Tell them they need to train harder! Also tell them hi! It Bloody hot down here! And all the Jeeps have doors and roofs on. Some people never learn.... It been really fun down here. My legs are sore and getting big. My pants don't fit anymore. They be fallen down if I didn't have a belt. The people in Arizona are very very different. Nobody knows anyone. They all isolate in the houses. And some of the people out here are wearing sweaters in 100 degrees! There's something very wrong here. Message you next week.

Love you guys!
