So hello again everyone! We had a great week down here in
the White Mountains of Arizona, with a bit of rain and a bit of sun. We love
it!
So, the biggest news- two baptisms! this Saturday! Man,
I will be running around like a crazy person that day, trying to make sure it
all goes right! Michael, who is married to a member, has been trying to meet
with the mission president back since this area was in the Tempe Mission,
because he has been on parole and had some other questions. We were FINALLY
able to work out that visit, with a little help from our awesome mission
president and his wife, President and Sister Sweeney. We met at the Linden
chapel, and smushed together in the truck (because we weren't sure if their car
would make it) and went out to Michael's house for our appointment. And it was
great! President set up Michael's baptism date. This baptism has been four
years in the making. The entire ward is so excited, and we are so blessed to be
able to see this miracle take place!
Anne Marie has officially been taught all the lessons and is
good to go! We are so excited for her as well! She is so ready for her baptism,
to be clean from the sins of her past and begin a new fresh life.
I have been so blessed to be here in this beautiful, spacious,
and spread-out area. It's probably good I'm going to leave here next week
because I might accidentally pick up the country accent and loose my English
grammar skills! I love the people up here, and I am so thankful for the friends
and acquaintances I have made, and for those that I have been given the chance
to help. I love serving the Lord on a mission, and I wouldn't be anywhere else!
I love you all! Go check out "A Word for the Hesitant
Missionary" if you want some good words from President Uchtdorf!
Be happy and stay true! Love you!
Sister Hailey Brown
