Alec's first letter from Arizona!

Well I just got to AZ yesterday! Its soooo hot. The first day we went out and had a picnic and then went to the family history center. Then we went contacting we actually got a lot of people to talk to us it was a really cool experience to go out on the first day. Some people look like they would never stop to talk but they do and love it. Then all the Elders slept at the mission home. We woke up at 5:30 and started exercising. Its sooo hard staying awake all day. Then we went to a classroom and turned in a whole bunch of papers and stuff. We then went into another classroom and got our companions. Mine is Elder Meza. Everyone ive been talking to says he is the best and really hard working! So far so good, he seems to be really cool. Then they assigned us to the areas we will be serving. I got called to Snowflake! Its like 30 degrees cooler and in the mountains! So we got a truck my first car out. Then Sister Sweeney gave us permission to go out and buy boots!!! Like holy cow can it get any better? All of my prayers have been answered. I got a good companion. Got the mountains. Got a truck. And I get to wear boots. I think I am really going to like this place. Not only do I get to share this beautiful message but i get to do it just to make me the most comfortable I could be. I prayed over and over again in the MTC to send me to AZ with comfort and the feeling of support! I know without a doubt that this was an answer to my prayers but I didnt think it could go this well, I mean literally nothing is going wrong and im starting to like it more and more. We are about 4 hours away from everyone else. So we got to our home at about 10 at night and then we just went to bed. We got up and did service this morning. We helped build a dog cage for 11 huskies. All the people around here are awesome and love to see us. It makes me so happy. I know it will be hard to teach some people and challenges will come along but I know Heavenly Father is on my side. Just me being in this place is very proof of that. Sometimes you just have to put faith in the Lord and take the leap. A mission wasnt easy for my to come out here. I dont know like anything about the doctrine near as much as a should, and lot of other things like me being shy and stuff but if you put faith in the Lord he will help you through all things. Hold to the iron rod and dont ever let go. I know he cares for each one of us and he would do anything for us we just need to put our faith in Him. Im so blessed to be were im at. Love Elder Lange ❤🌵
