Goodbye Utah. ✈ Hello Arizona!

Hey yall this week so far has been a blast. I finally met my new comp and I think he is pretty cool.

So far this week has been a shock! I woke up at 3:30a just to make it to the MTC bus that would take me to the Salt Lake Airport. It was tiring to sit at the airport for two hours waiting for my flight to Scottsdale Arizona.

I am learning fast and growing too as well. I can see my self reaching out to more people to see how they are doing. It’s also making it a lot easier to talk to new people I have never seen before. Thank you to every one who has sent me packages and cards so far of love and support.

3rd Nephi Chapter 14:7 says ” Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

This scripture talks about going to the Lord in prayer if you have any question that you need answered. God is the key to happiness through prayer. He wants to hear from His Children. Thanks for all you guys do for me and for sending me wonderful cards of love and care. Until my next email next week on Nov 15,2021!

Meeting my trainer Elder Wangsgard for the first time

BUENE SUERTE MIS AMIGOS!

Funny Story: I was originally scheduled to train at the Mexico City MTC, but was switched to the Provo, Utah MTC. 5 Missionaries from my Arizona Scottsdale District connected into Dallas from the Mexico City MTC on their way to Arizona. They missed their connection in Dallas and one of the senior missionary couples – Elder & Sister Lauritzen arranged the delayed missionaries stay at a relatives house, which happened to be President Moon (brother to Sister Lauritzen) in the Stake Presidency of the Plano Texas Stake. The missionaries stayed overnight at his house and knowing that I was also assigned to the same mission, President Moon invited my parents to come over. President Moon set me apart to begin my missionary service. He’s a great selfie-taker. 😎

And if you look at my Week 1 blog – Ghosts From the Past, it which I reenacted the iconic pose from my Mom’s picture when she was an MTC teacher, my parents recreated the picture. 😂😂😂
