Book 1: Chapter 2: Entry 8: The End of the Beginning

I made it!!! I’ve officially almost made it through my first transfer!  It’s truly amazing looking back and wondering where the time has gone, but still remembering all of the cool memories.  Some of those cool memories were from this week starting with a lesson with a friend of ours named Malik that lead us to meeting another friend, a guy named Kennedy! Malik had moved in with Kennedy between

Book 1: Chapter 2: Entry 7: Be Thou Humble

What a great week! So much has happened that I almost don’t know where to start, so I’ll just share the highlights I liked the most!  I had my first “mini zone conference” on Tuesday which is essentially a zone conference lead by the APs (Assistants to the President) with a smaller group of missionaires. It was a really cool meeting and we learned a lot about repentance and the

What a crazy roller coaster of a week!  As the scriptures say, there is “opposition in all things” (2 Nephi 2:11) and this week has been evidence of that.

Book 1: Chapter 2: Entry 4: Uphill Both Ways

That’s how this whole week has felt so far, but it was a great feeling to realize on Sunday evening that the day after is P-Day. The new week started off with a fun reminder of home on Tuesday morning. Due to

Book 1: Chapter 2: Entry 3: South Mountain

What a place! I didn’t realize how much of Arizona is just straight desert and yet it’s still beautiful in it’s own way. It’s nice to finally be here! To start from the beginning, things began with our travel group meeting the mission president and his wife, President and Sister Law, at the airport. They’re both fantastic,  and I look forward to serving with them as our leaders.  As a quick rundown
