Merry Christmas!

The Old CG House Crew
Hey all! Hope you had a good week! :) This week flew by for me. Probably because we basically had two days off. Christmas Conference was awesome. I'll talk more about it later. I don't have my journal so this will be a little shorter.

Monday - found out we had to do a Zone skit for Christmas Conference. Two sisters took over and wanted to do a rap. We didn't know much about it so the organization was not good. It would prove to be fatal. Played some frisbee because the basketball hoops were up and we need a key to put them down 😒. Spent the night finding and had a great lesson with the Beebe's.

Tuesday - had a district meeting on using family history. Elder Harris did a good job. We implemented that a lot this week. Had a bomb lesson with Jesus who is doing awesome, Skye had her baptismal interview and is good to go this Thursday! We are pumped.

Wednesday - Christmas Conference Day 1!!! We went to South Mountain Park in Phoenix and played games like basketball, spike ball, cornhole, giant Jenna, and other stuff. It was awesome. Got to reunite with Elder Grigsby, Hawkes, and Cleveland. That was nice. Went back to CG for the evening and waited around for a baptismal interview for an investigator that never showed up.
Thursday - Christmas Conference Day 2!! Went to the Gilbert temple, that was AWESOME, went to In-N-Out for lunch, took pictures at the temple, had dinner, did the skits. Ours failed HORRIBLY. Worst one by far. I started reading the wrong verse at my part, stopped, said "Oh, shoot!" into the mic, recovered, finished my verse. I wish people could hear me rap some Eminem (clean version of course) to redeem myself. Oh well.

Casa Grande Zone on South Mountain!
Friday - had a lesson with a former investigator named Vicki, she is super nice. We had another lesson with a new member Amanda, that was pretty good, had dinner with the Bells, then had a good lesson with Scott and Barbara.

Saturday - had a lesson with Brother and Sister Rabb. Talked about the word of wisdom, asked them to stop drinking coffee. Brother Rabb got up, went to the sink, poured out the coffee in the coffee maker, and dumped out the coffee from in the cupboard in front of us. He really wanted to keep that commitment. It was awesome. Also, went to our Christmas party. Scott and Barbara came and we got free waffles. Mmmm. Waffles.

Sunday - church! Scott and Barbara, Jesus, and Skye made it to church, and we had a great time with them. Scott got to know a bunch of people. It was great. Had dinner at the Pace home, they gave us two referrals, and then went to the New Convert Devotional in Tempe. It was great.


There is the week! Merry Christmas everyone! Love you all! Stay awesome!

Closing Time

It's hot. Hello everyone!! As you may or may not know, this week is the final full week of my missionary service! That is a really crazy things to say but I am so grateful for the things that I have learned and the people I have built strong connections with. I wanted to share with you three lessons that I have learned during my missionary service. There are many, but you’ll have to ask me for details later ;)  First off, I have a deep conviction of how much God truly loves all of us. I know that we are His sons and His daughters. There is nothing more valuable to me than that important fact. I get to interact with lots of different people as a missionary, and the coolest thing I have experienced is that for some reason, whether I know these people well or not, I develop such a strong love for them and a desire to help them. I know that is because I am doing what I can to help people come closer to God. So remember that! God loves you and He always will! Second. It

The Inferno: The Final Week

Image
When Sister Benjamin gives birthday presents.   Hello everyone! That's right, we are coming up on the last week of  what I classify as the inferno. It's been a pretty brutal summer as  always, but actually not as bad as it was when I came in last August.  I'm definitely becoming more accustomed to extreme heat ALL the time.  But September and October will still be 90s and 100s, and once  Halloween hits then we get into the good stuff. So next week I'll  actually have more exciting subject titles. Anyways, this week was awesome. We had something called "stake  Conference", which basically means all of the congregations in the  South Phoenix area met together in one building for two hours to be  taught by some leaders of the church. For us, since we are both adults  and mission leaders, we had two more two hour meetings on Saturday,  and then the normal meeting on Sunday. So 6 hours of church! I LOVED  it!  You may or may not know that we believe that the

Finding the 4-Leaf Clover!

Devotional with Elder Christofferson He y everyone!  Man, it has been a busy week for sure! Running to and fro, north to south, east to west, you name it we did it! We had transfers this week and I found myself in the Chandler/Gilbert part of Arizona, which is super cool! It is a lot different than any other part of the mission I have been in. Lots of members of the church, lots of really nice houses, and everybody already knows who we are! Haha.  I’m now covering a small place called Chandler-Gilbert Community College, so I’ve now covered all 3 colleges in the mission! That is pretty cool, haha. My companion, Elder Smith, is the man! We already know each other well! He is from near Provo, Utah and we are having a good time. I’ve definitely found a 4-leaf clover here! 😎🍀 The New Squad We had lots of lessons this week! I got to know everyone which was super cool! We have a girl named Codi preparing for baptism in April, so we met with her and it went really well. We a
