Hey!!!
YEP! it's been blazing hot here, and we've also been having some gnarly monsoons. It's pretty fun, I love/hate the summer here. Hate, because it's unbelievably hot and love, because the monsoons are SICK. They are pretty fun to be in for some reason...probably because it's the only change in weather that we get. 9 months out of the year it's just straight sun...its rare to even see a cloud...its nice to see clouds again😂
We are meeting with a guy named Jacob, he is super cool. We've been teaching him over Skype and it's been really great actually. He comes to church and stuff, it's just hard to meet with him during the week. So we do Skype lessons. And on Friday we put him on date for the 11th! Super sweet. Hopefully that works out, it would be cool to end with a baptism :) he's been preparing for a long time for this and he didn't even know it.
We received some super solid referrals this week! One girl texted us and said that she wants to get baptized asap, so we have a lesson with her tomorrow! YSA is THE BEST.
So this week was Annie's farewell :( All of our homies are leaving on missions and to school. It's been sad haha. She is going to be a REALLY good missionary in Ohio. We all went over to her house Sunday night and talked about the hilarious moments we've had together since we started teaching Summer😂 They are literally the funniest group of people I've been around in Mesa😂 Anyways we had to say our last goodbyes and that was it! See ya in 1&1/2 years!!
We also met with Marqus this week. He's doing just swimmingly. He has a calling, goes to the temple often, and he's got a super solid girlfriend😂 He's safe. Anyways we talked about Patriarchal blessings and how they are a road map to our lives. We should read our blessings, I think, DAILY. It helps us keep a vision in our minds of the person that Heavenly Father sees us becoming. I love reading mine and seeing how I can improve. It is such a blessing to have. So Marqus is going to get his as soon as he gets in touch with Bishop. Dillon was there too, he's a G. They want to get everyone together again one last time before I head home to have dinner. So I'm excited about that. Man I'm going to really miss the people here :(
I think that's about it! I love being a missionary in Mesa. Best thing ever. I couldn't be more happy :) I love you Mom! Have a great week!
