Bowdrie sure is cute, he looks a lot like Stockton at that age! i am really happy to hear that all went smoothly and he is doing good. will be a little different the next time i see him! haha. :) I cannot believe that Lacie and Andrew are going to get married!? he is a awesome guy and was a amazing missionary! bishop emailed me and told me about some of the sweet missionary experiences that are going on in the ward right now! that is so awesome that there are going to be some baptisms and new members in the ward! :) be sure and get a good gospel essentials class going! :)
you asked about me getting a Ha1c. i could definitely do that. it would be really good to get a idea on where i am at. i have been doing really well lately. Testing a lot and trying really hard to keep them level and not have any spikes. :) its hard in the heat but i am blessed with good companions who help me a ton. remind me and carry sugar. i had a low on Sunday and i think it kinda scared elder derenthal. all was ok i just got really irritated. after case i thought it was kinda funny and i had to explain to him some of the side effects of having lows! :) its great to have so much support. i haven't wore my dexcom in a while. last time i did a few months ago it still worked. i will get that going this week and get a better pin on things! thanks for the reminder and i will keep you updated!
So this week a crazy thing happened...its called a dust storm. it started west of phoenix in the far desert and then came all the way through AJ. it was insane. we were walking to our car and we could see it coming. it was huge and moving so fast. it looked like something off the mummy or Aladdin. haha, huge walls and it hit us hard. dirt everywhere and though every crack possible. not very much fun to be out and about in but it got us in a few doors! :) monsoons are starting to hit a little. the last 2 evenings we have been getting some small showers and good lightning so that's exciting. the only down fall is that it is super humid in the mornings! but its better that pure heat. last wed. it hit 118 in Scottsdale...that's really hot in case you are wondering! haha :) not to much fun to be out in but its bearable. there is a member in one of our wards who does insulation and he was blowing in some ones attic to help keep it cooler for cheaper and he took a little hand thermometer up with him and he said that it was 187!! he was up there for 15 mins. at a time and still almost got heat stroke! crazy, the heat isn't something to play with. drink lots of water for sure!
our baptisms this week end went really well. Mary had hers on Saturday and it was such a sweet experience! there was so much support there for her. same with Brad. he had a bunch of family fly in from out of state and it was really good. we have two baptisms coming up this week end as well. Vanora and Lorean. they are mother and daughter and they are natives so that will be really cool. she just got married to one of the members of our ward. so exciting. there are so many prepared people everywhere! i feel so blessed to be a part of this work and see the miracles happen first hand. its really great. we are teaching a lot and getting a lot done.
the three some is good, kinda difficult but things are working. we are not sure how long elder hay will be with us but i will probley get a better idea on what to expect during interview this week. we all have so much to learn and its not always easy to learn so we'll just take it one day at a time and grow while that happens! :)
kinda cool sense elder Davis is a DL here in our zone in 2 weeks i am going to go on exchanges with him in my old area. he told some of the members that i was back and going to be back in the area and so we are going to be eating with the Braddock's i think! :) it will be a lot of fun. elder Davis is a great missionary and has TONS of potential! fun to serve with people that you know from back home!
well i hope that all is well there and your healthy happy and having a good summer. it is flying by so fast. we were shopping today in walmart and they have all there back to school stuff set out! kinda crazy, doesn't feel really or possible but i guess it is. i appreciate all that you do for me and your love and support. i couldn't ask for a better family! :) love you and cant wait to hear from you again soon!
All my love,
Elder Dalan Lerwill
