Hello Everyone,

 

So this past week was pretty good!  I had the opportunity to go one exchanges with one of my favorite elders that I have met on my mission Elder West he serves in Leupp, AZ with Elder Patterson and they are some great elders!  They have sure changed Leupp around and turned it into a great area!  Elder West is going home here in 2 weeks and it was nice to be able to have one last great day with him!  Its crazy thinking that when I got to Winslow Elder West had about 6 months left I'm about to my 7 months mark and about to be exactly in his place when I met him!  Its crazy how time fly's out here when your not paying attention to it!  Anyway things are going great here in Winslow according to plans we are going to be having a baptism this Saturday we are really hoping things go through!  Yesterday the entire state of Arizona got to watch the new Pheonix temple be dedicated!  It was an awesome thing!  It was now my 2nd temple I have seen dedicated on my mission the first being the Gilbert, AZ temple!  It was such a neat dedication! My favorite part of it all was watching the Prophet (President Monson)  at the cornerstone celebration as he put the mortar on it he was laughing and smiling and joking around with President Uchtdorf he cracked a couple of jokes and he was just being his self he then  went over to the crowd of people and chose 2 kids to come and help him it was so awesome man I wish that could have been me when I was little!  But it was good to see President Monson so happy and energetic it just reminded me that I need to stay that way too and try to stay away from being boring!  Anyway it was a great week and had a lot of fun!
