So after i found out, we grabbed my bags and got in the truck and drove 3 1/2 hour to here! it was amazing country and there are pine trees and its awesome! it really reminds me of island park!! :) its a small town feel! nearest wal-mat is hour and a half away, everyone waves to everyone and it is 15 degrees cooler than down in the valley! its 76 here right now and in mesa is in the 90's! :) so that is amazing! elder stewart is going home in 6 weeks so i gotta learn alot in 6 weeks cause when he leaves ill be taking over the area! aww haha :) we live in the basment of a members home, really nice! :) im in a biking area, but also have access to a truck if absolutely needed! i got a really nice bike and got a good deal on it i think! we will be biking alot so that will be good to have a good one! :) when it is 75 degrees or higher we dont have to where our suit coats so thats a blessing! :) get to go to the temple once a transfer! :)
so yesterday i got my bike and we drove to payson and got groceries at the walmart and then hauled butt to snowflake and got here 5 mins. before our apt with the Chairez family! so we threw all our groceries in the fridge and got back in the truck and drove to there house! we taught lesson 2! it went really well have another apt with them next week! then after that we hauled butt again to the Gardner families home and taught the about the importance of the BoM and tithing, they are a less active family and the mother is not a member! that was really kool and went well too! :) i was so nervous! haha, we have 5 teaching apts today, all lesson one to new investigators! :) so that will be kool! our area includes 4 wards, and me and elder stewart got white washed into this new area cause they just spilt the area! so guess what that means... next Sunday we get to talk...four different times... :) haha it will be good. we were asked to just introduce our selves and give a little bit of back ground and then talk on the importance of missionary work and just how excited we are to be hear so that wont be too bad! :) also today we a apt with Jim Hufman and we are going to try to set a baptismal date!! :) we already have two ppl with dates this month so i will be able to step in and teach them the last couple lessons with elder stewart!! :) so there is a crap load of work and i don't think ill have a problem keeping busy!:) It all definitely puts me out of my comfort zone for the most part but im am learning and growing so much! :) i miss and love you all so much and cant wait to talk to you sunday! :) be safe and good luck with everything. hope you dont mind me filling you in early... ;) haha
