A hardworking week on the good ole Colfax!

Monday: July 19th

We got to visit Red Rocks Park and I have to say this place is AWEsome! I'm definitely going to bring my family here. We taught Sue about temples and you can tell how happy she was when she realized she could help her fellow ancestors follow their Savior Jesus Christ too because of her example and efforts. :) I know this to be true! 

Red Rocks!

Tuesday: July 20th

HAPPY 20th!!! <3 Today was an amazing day. We taught Sharon a lot about the purpose of the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The purpose is in the name of course, but the reward is within the spirit of the pages! Please diligently seek the Lord's hand in your life as you study from His word. 

Wednesday: July 21st

Sue was pretty sick but determined to still prepare for her baptism, she is the definition of endurance! We talked alot about the Refiners Fire and how sometimes Heavenly Father needs us to be more patient until we grasp a full eternal perspective on the reason why behind the trials we all face. Hold onto hope! 

Yep. That's a spray painted brass knuckles right there... we were walking around an apartment called "The Zoo

Thursday: July 22nd

Went on my last exchange today and that was my 90th exchange I've done on my entire mission! Wow, lots of hard work. I also had my departing interview with President Rees, we talked alot about some important decisions in life and the counsel that the Lord has given us for those situations! Trust the Lord. Fear thou not... :)

Friday: July 23rd

Thorough and hard working day! 

Rose! Who doesn't love La–"Roses"?

Saturday: July 24th

Sue's baptism! And also, my 2 year mark in the mission! It was a powerful and unforgettable day. I'm so glad seeing Sue so happy! She invited many friends and it was absolutely amazing to see her on her path of discipleship with a clean slate. I know that Jesus Christ set the perfect example for us and if there be any flaws it is the flaws of mankind. I know my Savior lives!

New CO Gear of course

Sunday: July 25th

Church was awesome, they snagged me to speak again so I talked alot about Christlike love and how to spark a desire within others to see the blessings of coming to our Savior Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ is everything to me. I am deeply grateful and humbled to the depths for the many many refining trials I have experienced throughout my mission as a type of the things I need to be prepared for in my life. Thank you Heavenly Father! I love being a missionary :)

Work hard, hand in hand, with the Lord <3

Love,
