This week was completely nuts! first i have to say that president is following in my footsteps! he is using me as an example... i'm not so sure if it is in a good way... he was sandwiched recently in his avalon too and was hit at 40 miles per hour from the rear pushing him into the car in front of him... with a general authority Elder O. Vincent Haleck in his car with him... Elder Haleck went to the Hospital... but thank heavens it was after mission conferences were over!!! :)
So that leads me to the rest of the week! On thursday we had the opportunity to Hear from Elder Haleck and his wife as well as President and sister Killpack and Stake President Lewis! It was a truly fantastic meeting on the book of mormon and being who the Lord needs us to be. This mission has been struggling to find and baptise for the last 6-12 months in all aspects, but as we have been focusing on the small and simple things that might have been overlooked or missed before we have seen the great success!!! Numbers of people are rising in retention and conversion as well as personal satisfaction in the work is growing. Whom the Lord Calls he Qualifies. Whom the Lord Qualifies He calls!
Great success is headed our way by recieving blessings for doing the Small and SIMPLE things!
He loves us and knows what we are doing every step of the way! As we show him our humility and desire he will make us capable of doing his work.
"If the Book is True... It is true... " - President Killpack
Know I know it is true as we make a daily study in The book of mormon our lives will change completely. Do it see your life change as has mine!
Love you all!

Walkin' in a winter wonderland!
yeah It ain't quite a winter wonderland yet, but it is getting cold enough to be. it is 44 and well i don't think it has been over 65 this week! I'm freezing! I bought a sweater just in time for that one! yeah!
This week went by pretty quickly and well it was pretty different! We had an investigator at church it was awesome! so great testimonies were shared. normally it is a travel log meeting of where the members went to in the last week or so and well not this time it was on tithing, trials, blessings, the restoration, ect. I have been working so hard to show them what a real testimony is and not just a Travel Log. what a blessing! :)
We are working to find a few new investigators as we do have a few referals, but they seem never to be home. Life is great!!! :) I am doing real pretty good!
I went to the dr. this week and they said they didn't need to take any more x-rays, but they would put me in physical therapy for the next 3 months 3 times a week and see how it goes from there! I am still seeing the chiropractor, and that really helps too! we'll see how it goes!
I got ya'lls package on wednesday! Thanks so much! :() sorry it is short, but i'm standing up and typing and well i have cramps in my arms from doing so, so this is it!!
Love you talk to you later this week when we can sit down! :)
Love you!

Alright so it is the last day of the month and well Where did October go? I'm still looking back at my planner and wondering where it went! everyday is filled out, but it seems like it's over!!! aaaah! November just around the corner it is super scary before i know it, it will be Christmas...
Well this week went pretty well for the teaching and all... still finding people to teach, but it is amazing to see the way the Lords prepares his chose children to be found by his chosen servants! This week Elder Bradley and I were on exchanges (he comes with me in my area) we are interpreting for a black deaf less active member of the branch. I looked up saw him looked down and then bam her was gone. don't really know what happened. Later that day we went to the Police station to get a police report, which i found out you can now get it online... www.tucsonAZ.gov/police
on the right side is a column that says request a copy of a report
the number is 1110170663
you can get one for our records!!!
We went to another less active man whom we hadn't seen i a few months. His has some trouble with same sex attraction, but we knocked on his door as we always do. we saw him in his apartment and he normally ignores us. he normally looks through the hole then walks away and ignores us. this time he didn't!!!!! :) HE actually looked out opened the door and talked with us for a few minutes :) the lord humbles people in many different ways! :) this is one we have been waiting to get into for some time now!!! :) finally!
I love it here! it has been so awesome to see the lord preparing his children as well as his servants! :)
Thanks for all you do! :)
Love you!!
Happy Halloween!

This week has been super crazy lots of different things going on and well accident #3 started the week off! We have been working to get that whole situation figured our all week long!!! I wish someone else would do it and let us focus on missionary work, but I guess we are lucky the truck is still driveable and that we are Alright! We haven't really had much time to do missionary things this week, but there is a new week ahead of us and we are ready to get moving! I can't wait to find that person that is ready to be baptised and listen to the gospel... It has been a really interesting week it is almost like some of the errands that I used to do when i was back home of getting estimates on the car go the insurance company, dr. ect... I'm ready for the REAL missionary work now!!! Not much of an update this week, but all is going well!!! We are in good health and we just gotta keep on moving and finding those who are ready!! :)

Update on what happened at the dr. office yesterday.
We went into the dr. office last night about 5:30 and didn't leave until10:30 or so
They took xrays and checked them over thoroughly as well as gave me meds to dull the pain for the time being
Naproxin, Tylenol #3, Cyclobenzaprine pain reliever, inflamation reducer and muscle relaxer. very low doses.
They will look at an MRI in the coming week to make sure everything is taken care of and look for other avenues if there are any!
