Today as a zone
we woke up super early and went hiking a mountain (mountains are tiny here)
called camelback and started hiking at like 6 and I think it was like 1-2 miles
pretty straight up. And we got to the top just in time to look at the sunrise
it was pretty fun and I’ll try and send you pictures. Then everyone came over
to our house and we cooked breakfast.
Instead of having
2 missionaries we got a new one last night, Elder Dunn. So now there are 3 his
companion got transferred to Scottsdale cause a missionary had extended and
went home and so now there are 3 of us for the next 2 weeks before transfers.
On Friday night we met with Isaac again and set a baptismal date! For November
23 so a couple weeks down the road. He's definitely ready he loves coming to
church and learning about the gospel. we had a referral and went to the address
and it turns out he was a half block out of the ward but we still taught him
the first lesson and it was awesome he had lots of questions and know the bible
well and is open to new things and is golden but since he was out of our area
we had to pass him along.. but now that we have elder duns area assigned/mixed
with ours he’s in that area so I can still see him for the rest of this
transfer so that's pretty cool and a blessing! as for Izzy we try and see him
as often as we can but he didn't come to church this week cause he broke his
hand and is drugged up to try and help the pain and sleeping a lot and so that
makes it difficult for us cause we would like to teach him in a members home buts
he’s really hit and miss so scheduling is a pain. I think I mentioned the Harris
family's name before they're a less active family in the ward with a lot of
problems but this week we went over a couple nights and it’s really going well.
before it was always fight ,fight, fight and then one night they were watching
a movie as A FAMILY and another night we ate dinner there as a FAMILY it was
awesome!! And everyone was happy and getting along. we got to meet with Zach
again, it’s been a few week which stinks but our lesson went really well and
he's remembering what he's being taught. But he has to come to church but I
think he will be here this week he was going to come last week but he didn't
have clothes that fit when they were looking Sunday morning so his dad said they'd
buy some. Then after the lesson we had Zach and josh (father and son) in the
church! We played basketball with a few members in the ward and it was awesome
to get them inside and see it’s not that bad and people are happy to see you
and want to see you here at church. We helped build a chicken coop one day that
was pretty fun. we got to go to the visitor center one day this week to it was
really nice I love the visitor center here it’s awesome! I just wish we could
go to the temple more often because it’s even better. Well I hope you have a
wonderful week and keep up the missionary work!
Love Ya,
Elder Stevenson
