Valley Yo!

Hey everyone! This week was super good. We had ZTM (where we train the zone) we had to give like 3 trainings because they switched the schedule on us the night before and we didn't want anyone complaining that we gave them a training the night before. We had like half the mission at this MLC because we are getting a new mission president and they want a lot of leaders. So we had a lot of people we could of given trainings to but it switched the night before so that was super stressful. Anyways then then 2 days later we had transfers and I thought I was going to stay in my area and stay there until my last comp went home. He only had one more transfer. But I got the news Thursday night at 8:30 and had to be packed and ready to leave by morning. It was super sad. President even told me he wanted me up there for 2 more transfers. But here I am... down in the valley... It's supposed to be record breaking heat next week. Like 117-120 Saturday and Sunday, in June! It literally feels like a hot blow dryer. The work down here is crazy though. Everything down here is crazy. Every time you take off from a stop light it feel like nascar. And if you don't speed up fast enough everyone honks at you and some flip you off. It's pretty stressful. There are a ton of people to talk to down here though! You can LITERALLY preach the gospel everywhere. That's the only thing I like down here. Oh I forgot to tell you where I am. I'm just north of Central Phoenix. There are apartment complexes down here that are called the slaughter house. If that's not freaky I don't know what is. It's pretty much like a prison complex. You walk in and there are only 4 places to get out once you're in. Little hall ways that are like 20 yards long and all four sides. It's just a giant square with huge walls around every side. You really have to gain strength from the Lord everyday down here. Lots of faith that you will be taken care of. In the heat mostly, because it's killing me. Wish me luck that I don't melt this week. I think it's super cool that faith is the first principle of the gospel. Faith in Jesus Christ. If you don't have faith then you can't grow in any other aspect of the gospel. You have to base your faith in Jesus Christ off of everything. Oh yeah, my comp is Elder Mangus. He is super awesome. We get a long super well and he wrestled too. He is from Billings Montanta. Wish me luck!
