WEEK #66 - Exchanges, Every Day...

 What a week! 

Monday: October 19th

Today was great! We had interviews with President and taught a really great phone call lesson to Velma. She's been struggling finding peace in her life and we taught about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. His peace is all encompassing as we turn to Him and submit our will to His. Trust in Him, and you'll find peace as you follow Him! 

Road trip with Elder Hawkes...

Tuesday: October 20th

Happy 20th!!! :) Today was a great day, we woke up early and drove about 4 hours to Rifle! I got to exchange with the Rifle ZLs, I was with Elder Tesch. He's such a goofy legend! I really enjoyed spending the day working with him. Rifle is a beautiful place!

Rifle Exchange!

Wednesday: October 21st

We got up and drove to Grand Junction for another exchange! I went with Elder Camp in the YSA area. We had SO many lessons today, it was fun bouncing around teaching about our Savior Jesus Christ :) 

GJWest Exchange!

Thursday: October 22nd

Woke up AGAIN for another exchange! This time I got to drive back to Montrose... yay!! I even got to be with my former compaion Elder Malm. We both taught Angela together who's always a stud! It was so funny being with those Elders, we ate Chinese takeout and got demolished, haha! Classic mission days... 

Montrose Exchange! 

Friday: October 23rd

Well... our last exchanges got canceled because half of them were in quarantine because of COVID exposure, and the other half were evacuated because of the East Troublesome fires over in Granby.... just a normal day in the mission, right? :) We ended up driving from Montrose to Denver (about a 5 hour drive) and got home around 7:30pm. It was a looooong drive, but I absolutely LOVE all these mountain roads in Colorado. Fall just looks absolutely beautiful, I can't wait to take my family out here with me! 

Saturday: October 24th

Today we had a bunch of meetings, but we got a lot of things organized with the Office Team for the November Training Plan (what we want to focus on as a mission for the month). It also is getting pretty cold here in Denver, I'm "SO" excited for the cold weather... ;) 

FLIP... there's snow!

Sunday: October 25th

Today we woke up to 10° weather and SNOW!!! Literally yesterday me and Elder Hawkes were walking around in short sleeves... holy cow, it was SO cold. And, our truck didn't start. RIP. We were outside in the bitter cold trying to get our truck out. We finally made it to church, but today was a good day! We taught a couple lessons and shivered a bunch haha :)

Snow snow snow

Here's our truck!

Enjoy the week, and I'm praying for you all!

Love,
