Hey

Hey Everyone! This one will be really short! Being that it was transfers this week and I was transferred back to Tucson! I am now with Elder Berry in the North Tucson Stake in the YSA University 1st ward! I am super excited! It will be way fun! But I don't have any time to write a letter because we are about to head out to dinner! So....sorry! I am doing great! Had an amazing week last week with Elder Cooper! It was tons of fun and we were able to do a lot of cool stuff! Sister Merriman is going to be baptized on the 27th of July!!! I am so excited! It was so cool because she got her answer that the church is true within twenty minutes after our first lesson ended! I am sad I won’t be able to see that! But I am so excited for her! Justine is also doing great and will also be baptized on the 27th of July!! I am super excited for her as well! That is the worst part about leaving but I am excited to be here and be in YSA still! It will be so much fun! Also the missionary broadcast on Sunday was super cool! I loved every minute of it and was so pumped up to go work! Well I will have a better email next week! Love you all!!

It was a really good week this one! I can't believe how fast this transfer is going! This upcoming week is the last week of the transfer! This has definitely been the fastest that I have had!

 So we had a really good week finding-wise! We found 5 new investigators this week! Sister Merriman, two of the Cauthen children, and the Peru family! It was really good! We are really excited for them! It will be a really good opportunity to teach them! Hopefully everything will all work out with them! We were able to have really good first lessons with both Sister Merriman and the Peru family! They were super spiritual and a great start! I am excited to see what will happen there!

 Justine is also doing really good! She is awesome and progressing well! She came to church yesterday and I think that she had a really good time! We had some really cool lessons with her this week and she is super excited to be baptized!

 We were able to have some really good experiences/lessons with Tyler this week as well! We were able to help her out and we had a good Lesson with her about the Enabling power of the Atonement!

 We had Zone trainings this week which were awesome! President and Sister Killpack had some good trainings that really pumped us up! It was good! The work is changing! The Lord is really hastening his work!

 I was also able to go on exchanges with Elder Simpson this week! That was super fun! He is such a good missionary! It was a really good exchange and we were able to set up a lot for them to do!

 There is a lot more but that will be it for this week!

 Love you all!
