Hey Everybody,     This has been quite an awesome week. Our P day is today because we had interviews yesterday.     So I'd like to start off this email by saying that Arizona being hot is a hoax hahaha. I know I'm in the mountains but this is crazy. We weren't allowed to drive yesterday or today because we got 3 feet of snow(pictures below). This morning we went out at 7 to help someone shovel their driveway and kept seeing more people that needed help, and we just got back to the apartment just after 2 o'clock. It was awesome to be able to get out today and help people.      3 of the people we helped are super cool. This guy named Jermaine is from Milwaukee. You won't be able to tell from the pic but he has cornrows/dreads and turns out that he loves basketball. They want all of us to go out to eat with them sometime, and Jermaine asked me if we can play basketball soon.     Another thing about snow this week is that my New Companion that is...

Hey everybody,      Today is my first day out of quarantine! I was in quarantine a total of 20 days, and it was awesome hahaha.     This week a member offered to get us some pizza when they signed up to feed us. We said that would be awesome, and then when the delivery driver got to our apartment he was like, "that will be $30". The member didn't pay for the pizzas hahaha, so we had to scramble to find $30 for him. It was hilarious.     Also a while ago I decided I wanted to read the Book of Mormon once a transfer. A transfer is 42 days, so that's about 13 pages a day. It seemed like a lot at first but it hasn't been too much. I already feel like I've learned so much from it!     Something cool that happened this week was I was inviting people to come to church, and I saw this name of a lady we are teaching, but wasn't going to invite her because we had some problems trying to teach her so I thought for sure she would say no. I then got a sup...

Hey everyone, sorry I forgot to write last week, I was just too busy (you'll see why that's a joke in a second)     Last email I said that I was flip training. Well the day before transfers I started getting covid symptoms, so we called president and had to go into quarantine. I tested Positive the next morning so that is an automatic 10 days we can't leave. This past Friday was supposed to be our first day out, but then we had to take Elder Nielson to the ER because he had breathing problems. Now he is hooked up to an oxygen machine and looks like an 80 year old hahaha. We made him a homemade hospital bed, seen in the pictures below. Unfortunately, that also means we have to be in quarantine another 10 days.     To sum it all up, my companion I'm supposed to be training is still down in the valley and I wont get to meet him in person until exactly halfway through the transfer!     Despite these setbacks I'm doing really good! I was asked to give a discussi...
