Hello everyone,

 

So this past week we had a lot to do again.  It seems like that has been the story these last couple of weeks!   It has flown by! It is crazy how all the days for like an entire week can just blend together while your on your mission!  On Wednesday we had Zone Conference in Tuba City, AZ man that is a long early drive!  It started at 9 oclock Tuba City time so that meant it started at 8 o'clock our time.  This different time stuff is really hard to get used to!  Anyway, so we ended up getting up at 4:30 on Wednesday morning and heading out the door by 5 so that we could be in Tuba on time!  Man that was an early morning!  Zone Conference was amazing though my favorite part was that we had the opportunity to watch Meet the Mormons!  That show was simply amazing!  It honestly just leaves a good feeling in your heart at the end of it!  The show really just goes to show how we as Mormons are normal people living normal lives!  We experience challenges just like anyone else but we also experience some of the happiest of times!  My favorite people in the show was definitely the football coach because he was just an awesome guy.  He had so much fun with his family!  I also loved the story of the missionary mom!  It just made me think about my mom back home and the tears, and how hard it was for me to leave and how hard it was on my family for me to leave! The movie really helped me to come to realize that I am out here doing exactly what I need to be doing right now!  It just affirmed that the church is still just as true today as it was the day I left!  I would definitely encourage everyone to watch it! So as for the rest of the week, we got to meet with both Stake Presidents this week again those meetings are always good!  Its amazing how much the Stake Presidents really care and pray for each missionary that is working within there Stake!  So I kind of have a sad, and also kind of funny story to tell.  This past Friday night in Winslow there were some 20 year old guys who decided to go around and burn down a bunch of random buildings.  On Friday night half the town of Winslow was on fire!  They ended up burning down some old historic houses and also buildings and also the only dry cleaners in Winslow!  It was kind of sad!  I hate to hear about things like that because its like those guys didn't have anything better to do then to burn buildings down???? So here comes the funny par!  There is an elder in our zone who serves on the reservation.  He asked us if we would take his suit to the dry cleaner haha, anyway yep his suit ended up burning down with the dry cleaners!  It was kind of funny having to call him and tell him that!  Anyway he is ok he is getting a new suit so everything will be good! Anyway  I hope everything is going well for everyone and I hope you have a great week!  Take care!
