🌞Home Sweet Arizona🌞
Hello everyone!
🌄☀️I am in Arizona!! It is so crazy to look out the windows and see cacti and palm trees but I love it. It is pretty warm here (yeah I know it will get hotter don't worry, I've been warned) but I have been soaking up the mild sun time. My favorite is when the sun has gone down but it's still warm, it's the perfect temperature. I will sit out on the deck and write in my journal or read my scriptures. It is heaven.
🫂🤗My trainer is Sister Mansius and she is awesome! She is so patient and understanding when she is teaching me, I love her so much! I feel slightly overwhelmed with everything I have to learn and do but I think I have been catching on pretty quickly. It helps that everyone here is so nice.
🙏💪We don't have many friends but we have been putting in the work knocking on doors. We have met some really interesting people, and a few have been interested! Please pray that we will be led to the people who are ready to hear our message! I am so excited to start teaching people!
🥙🥖🥞THE FOOD oh man. It is so so good. We get fed every day for dinner and I fear it's not going to be good for me. Nobody has to worry about me starving out here, that's all I can say. The members that feed us are so so nice and christ-filled. After each meal we leave and I say to my trainer "oh my goodness I just love them so much" because they are all so nice and fun! They have been so loving and welcoming to me, it is great.
🎂✨️Fun story real quick, I was sitting in ward council and I was sooo hungry. I didn't eat breakfast and we had been doing a lot that morning. The bishop had this bundt cake on his desk and the entire time I was thinking about how good it would be and hoping it was for us. I deciding that there was no way it was for us, but that didn't stop me from lingering a bit after the meeting, and HUZZAH he started cutting it and gave each of us a slice! It was probably because he saw me staring at it and basically drolling, but I dont care! I have been trying to be more aware of miracles and that definitely made the list! God is good!!
❤️❤️My spiritual thought for the week:
Moroni 8:16
16 Wo be unto them that shall pervert the ways of the Lord after this manner, for they shall perish except they repent. Behold, I speak with boldness, having authority from God; and I fear not what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all fear.
I love this verse because something I have been working on is being bold. I have been given authority by God to go out and teach of Jesus Christ! I should be bold! His power is with me, and therefore I should not fear what man can do. I also love the reminder that perfect love will cast out all fear. I willkeep going with boldness and love! I love Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and this Gospel. I also love all of you! Have a good week!
