Off to New Adventures!

Hello Friends and Family!

How is everyone?

Well this week has been super fun!  On Monday we trained a new sister , we got a batch of 22 new missionaries from the MTC and 7 from the Tempe Mission, 11 of those sisters and elders will be speaking Spanish, so exciting for the Scottsdale Mission!

Yesterday which was Tuesday was transfer meeting and i met who i will be training! Her name is Hermana Garret, she is from Utah,she is 21 and she is learning Spanish and is fresh out of the MTC ready to work! !
I love her we have so much in common, first we are on missions, we are both being humbled by the Lord, WE love spicy food, and we love healthy, but will not get to for 18 months, we both love to talk and work hard, we both love decorating the house of scriptures and spiritual thoughts, we both love banana bread, she is the first child in her family to go on a mission out of the 8 children and she is motivating me to work out more effective in the morning which is really needed and we set a goal to not gain any more weight , this transfer :)

I love her already she is great i cant wait to send you pictures of us next week because i didn't take any of us so far. We had a really spiritual companionship study session this morning. I really did feel unprepared and inadequate and excited and how am i going to do this, Train a NEW MISSIONARY! But i love our  mission President and his wife, he assured me that it was no coincidence, that we are together it was through revelation that we got put together . The Lord knew we will accept the call to go on a mission, where we will go, who will be our companions will be and has been preparing the people that we were men to come out and teach, The Lord knows our strengths and he puts us together to strengthen those things we need help with. He also said that we are always teaching, even when we are not teaching and that i will set her standards and her habits and how good of a teacher she will be for the rest of her mission,she is my number one convert, i need to show her to practice her  faith, work efficiently all day everyday, be exactly obedient, love others and the foundation of it all is to help her be converted unto Christ. I know  The Lord needed to me to do this and I can only do it with his help.

It is so interesting how small and simply things great things come to pass, during planning i put a name down and we were on our way to go see her, but first we stopped to get water at a members house and then  we went to go find her , but on the way and at that very moment, a former investigator was coming out of her car,we stopped to talk to talk to her and she said she was thinking about us and wanted us to start teaching her again, and shes been reading the Book of Mormon, we read with her and explained 2 nephi ch 2
then we came over another night and we taught her and her house boyfriend the gospel of Jesus and he is super funny! i love them both, so I might be planning a wedding soon, so they can get baptized!!!
Hmmm, who else, We have found lots of potential investigators, so hopefully they are willing keep commitments and follow the Savior.

We don't have any baptismal dates this month but working on it! 

love you all, thank you for the Prayers on my behalf and help the missionaries !!please even the young women! it will bless your life and it will inspire you to go on a mission! and reach out to those that need the blessings that they used to have when they came to church! :D so important!
