Lakeside Ward/Tucson Arizona
Hey hey hey,
How is everyone doing? So this week has had its ups and it sure had had its down. We made some really good contacts with people, and then it just stopped. Like just stopped. So that was upsetting but its ok, the work will push on I know that. We have a new investigator named Natayna. She is a 30 yr old black woman and we tracked into her house. My companion felt inspired to go there and we started to talk to her. She new something was different with us because of how we acted and looked. She said the Jehovah Witnesses were there that morning. So that was interesting. And so we talked for a while and she let us in her home. She is single and lives with her twin sister. And she was like hey can you come back and teach my mom and sister. We were like for sure. So now we are going back and teach them, and she called us to see if it was ok if she brought a friend. Of course it is. I just love it. SO we gave her the 1 lesson and I did the baptism invite and
first vision. I love doing those things. Our mission pres wants us to commit to baptism on the first contact, kinda scary but amazing, so I can do that. I just love it.
Some answers to questions, it doesn't matter how hot it is we still go out. I am not sunburned but I am getting darker ;). lol My ward is amazing. Its kind of small but I really like it. I am in a safe part of town so no worries there. I have dinner appointments every night so thats nice but I cook breakfast and lunch so it’s not that bad. For breakfast I have eggs and hot sauce (I’m addicted) and lunch chicken and hot sauce :). Then we go out and do the work. I sent a letter and it has the baptism program from our first baptism so I will do that whenever we have a baptism. :) I thought you would like that mom. I actually saw clouds a couple of days ago. It was a miracle. I though I was home and I loved it. It hasn't rained yet but I guess we are in monsoon season but it’s so dry. Before 11am its about 100 and the hottest its gotten it 110. It’s hot but its do able. Other people have so I will too.
We got a key to our gym in out apt complex so now I run and lift so thats nice. So, I can stay in shape. I run a mile to two miles and bench and do rows and stuff. I eat good too. So I have lost a few lbs :) It's the good lbs to loose I promise.
Our ward mission leader is amazing. He works so hard for us and gives us everything. He can tell that if he does this for the missionaries his life is blessed and I can see.
So my new bike,,, Its huge compared to my other one lol. I really like it and its way nice. It’s nice and blue. The seat kinda stinks but thats ok. Other than that it’s a good bike it’s big and it fits. So I like it.
We get our new Mission Pres next week so that will be interesting. Oh pray for Elder Norkyke. We were playing basketball today and he broke his ankle. It was pretty rough. We knew what we needed to do so I anointed him and another Elder gave him a blessing the pain stopped right then, AMAZING I TELL YOU. I love it so much out here. It’s the best thing ever.
This is his week I challenge you to memorize Doctrine and Convents 4. It’s amazing. I love teaching this gospel and how it blesses lives. I can tell that just from the people we teach as soon as they take the lessons their lives are blessed so much. I love seeing that in people. An eternal family is something so big we teach. This is his gospel and I bear witness of that. I love you all and thank you for all the prayers. I feel them lift me up when I need them. I really appreciate them. I love you all and can't wait to hear from you. Oh put my facebook status something dealing with that I would love to hear from people and I love letters and stuff like that and put my address thanks lol. Love you all
Elder Mortimer
Love you all!
