Job The Goat

Wow! Every day is just a new adventure!! Today we were about to go to the zoo, so we went to carpool with the sisters that live halfway between our place and the zoo, and when we went to their car, the window was completely smashed in and there was glass allll over the place! So we had to have the police and the forensics come... and apparently there were at least 7 car break-ins there that morning! It was crazy!  But! This week was super busy and dun! We had zone confrence, interviews, we took a girl leaving on a mission soon out with us for the day, we did a ton of service, we fed a baby goat, and just lots of fun stuff!! Also, the baby goats mom died giving birth, and its 2 siblings when to a different home... and they said "we named him Job becuase he lost everything"... it was so sad but soooo funny haha My favorite quote of the week was president browning at zone confrence when he said "you fear no man and you fear no sunshine!"  Okay, so one last thing! The o...

The Earth Is Flat!

Sooooo! It's been another exciting week in the dirty T!  We taught a guy named Walter this week, and we got about 10 minutes of gospel in there and an hour and a half of information about how the earth is flat! Apparently, theres 240 (super vague) scriptures about how the earth is flat, and a whole other page about why the earth is flat and gravity isn't actually real..... so we have been pretty entertained by this all week. He even printed us each our own copies! We also had a couple referrals this week which has been a total answer to our prayers! One of them was funny because he told us he probably wouldn't be able to join our church since we dont beleive in vaccines and he works at a hospital so hes required to get them... luckily we were able to clear that one up! And hes way excited to learn from us! Today we did some super fancy shirt painting at a members house, and she has all these cool stencil things for it! It was a lot of fun! Also I saw javelinas for the first...

Welcome To AZ!!

Well I did it! I have been in the Arizona Tucson Mission for 6 months and I am finally in Arizona!!  Not, gonna lie, leaving Silver City was sooo hard, but I am really liking it here! I'm still in the boonies which makes me super happy! One of the highlights this week was voulenteering at Catalina state park! We get to voulenteer there every week!! This week we shoveled and swept dry mud off of a road. It was hot, but fun! They have free canned water there! Also we got in-n-out after!!!  I'm also loving the people I've met. We have definitely ran into some weirdos so that has made me feel more at home. We also have some supppeeerrr awesome members here. One night at dinner, we were eating with the kindest family! At one point, we were talking about whether or not we knew who our families were before we came to earth and their son explained that we knew based on their constipation..... still not quite sure what he meant by that but it was pretty halarious It's also suuup...

Cheeeeeeese!

Sooo! After 6 months, I got me some cheese! I am going to North Tucson!! Its the Catalina/ San Manuel area and I have heard a ton of good things! Its kinnnnd of crazy becuase silver city is my home! And I'm totally going to miss everyone! And I have six months of stuff to pack,  but I am pretty excited to start a new adventure! So today is a little crazy so I'm gonna keep it short, but we had Karen's baptism this weekend and it went so well! Her husband even came to church for her confirmation yesterday, and when she bore her testimony he started tearing up! It was definitely a milagro (miracle hehe)! And I want to share one last weird-people-in-silver-city story from this week- So we were volunteering at a food bank on Wednesday and an old guy came up behind me and said "I'm quite fond of tall women! You're sooo unique!" Soooo I turn around and I was like "uhhhhh thanks!..?" And then he started reading mine and my comps tags and said "I hav...
