Welcome.
I
feel to address first the subject of this email. Yesterday my companion, Elder
Kevin Oliver Hillyard explained to me of his strong belief that „Arizonans are
wannabe Utahns“. He explained further and narrowed it down to mostly Mesa and
Gilbert have the wannabe Utahns, and this is all based off his judgement of the
<20 citizens of Arizona he has met. I just thought this was the most absurd
statement I’ve ever heard come from his mouth, so we had a good hour long
friendly discussion on why he is absolutely wrong. You could say I won, as he
at the end admitted that I was correct.
Anyways,
great to have you all back. This week was a fun one for us. We had yet another
Zone Conference, in which we learned that Elder Robert Nay and some other Römer
guy created an app. It’s like a translation app for members of the church to help
us when we meet people who don’t speak any normal languages like German,
English, or Persian. It’ll be interesting to see the app start off and see if
it works.

After
the conference, we had a great lesson with Georg, which President Fingerle
asked if he could come to. After Georg roasted us a little bit, we had an awesome
lesson about the Plan of Salvation and we were able to give him a sick blessing
and it was overall awesome. The spirit was strong at our lesson.

We
also had the blessing to have another appointment with Faiz this week. We went
through a lesson we’ve already taught, but with pamphlets in his language, so
that was great. He seemed to grasp the concept even better, and strengthen his
faith. He is about halfway finished with the Book of Mormon too, which is
awesome. He also told us that he’s doing really well with not drinking coffee.
He said his friends and girlfriend are like what da heck you’re crazy! But he
has told them his beliefs and not succumbed to peer pressure, which is an
awesome miracle!
Anyways,
no crazy storms or anything this week. We had a district Pday and me and Hillyard
destroyed at volleyball like usual. We also find out this Saturday about
transfers. It’s likely that Elder Hillyard leaves me, but we’re hoping to break
the norm so he can finish his mission in the best city with the best companion
he’ll ever have.
Anyways
stay thirsty my friends, bye!
