Until 70 Times 3

Elders pranked our car.

It was a week full of Seventies!

If you recall Elder Clayton came and visited our mission just last week. Well our stake also happened to have their stake conference this week and we got to hear from another two seventies! It was Elder Held and Elder Cook.

 Our stake president, President Tinker (who is amazing and so missionary focused) invited all the missionaries in the Stake to the leadership meeting they were having. It was focused on ministering and really opened my eyes to what this new focus is all about. Ministering cannot be a checklist. It is a lifelong discipleship of love and devotion. It is us trying to exemplify our Saviors example of loving and helping one by one. Oh man I wish I had my notes. But basically our takeaway as missionaries is that missionary work is just ministering to those without the gospel and is something that every member should seek to do. The Spirit was so strong as they spoke and truly testified to me they are called by God.

Our investigators, Javier and Viviana are doing good! We weren't able to see Viviana this week but we had a lesson with Javier and MIRACLES! He hasn't really opened up to us till this point and we struggled with best knowing how to teach him towards his needs. So when we were in his garage (no one else was home and it was probably like 120 degrees in there #arizonaprobs) we just asked a ton of questions and talked about baptism and he BROUGHT UP HIS CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS. It was awesome!!! We now know better how to help him! :)

Our other people are doing well too! We are just trying to help those we already have and figure out how to best work with the members. As the heat sets in, it definitely makes it a bit hard but it is also when we see our greatest miracles! I love being a missionary everyone!

OH HAPPY FATHERS DAY! I love my DAD!

To the Moon and Back!
