Hey guys!

What an awesome weekend with conference! There were some great talks.
Not really sure what my favorite was so many good ones. Rosa came and
listened with us on saturday and brought a friend. It was really cool
and the friend said she really liked it. We invited them back for
sunday, but the friend works on sunday and says thats the only reason
she doesn't always come to our church sundays. We are going to try and
find her this week and see if we can change that haha.

This last Wednesday was transfers and elder clough went to Peoria, and
i got elder waters! He's awesome. Elder waters is from portland
oregon. He's a really smart super nice guy. I was with him when I was
down in peoria. We had a ton of fun doing the Heroes of salvation
thing down there. He's pumped to be up here, a change from the valley,
and im super excited to be with him. He the best.

We are not really sure what happened to Stephanie. She has sorta
disappeared. She doesn't answer our texts or calls, doesn't come to
church, and we dont know where she lives because she always meets us
at a members house. I really hope she's just out of town or
something😕

We had a cool little thing happen this week. We received a referral
from the mission president. He send us an email to go find someone for
him up in sedona. We stopped by yesterday and met Angelique. She was
super nice, and really just wanted to know more bout us. She had a
nephew who just left on his mission this last month, and so she said
it sorta perked her interest. We talked about some of her questions
and set up another time to come back. She seemed genuinely interested
so we are pretty excited about that. We haven't had anyone in Sedona
to teach, so it'll be fun getting to be up there more.

Sister graham is the best member ever. She is down in spring valley
and is brining us people left and right.She is the one that introduced
to denise, and elyssa, and now Alyssa. We havnt been able to teach
alyssa yet, but she listened to conference with the grahams to and
really liked it. We get to go meet her tomorrow.
I love the grahams. they are so awesome and really remind me like im
home. Sister graham acts very similar to mom, and brother graham s
very similar to dad as well, even in build he's about 6' 5'' as well
and loves basketball and all that stuff haha. So it kinda feels weird
being over there sometimes but they are super cool and i love them.

President griffin has been getting everyone ready for october for a
while now, because he wants this to be a huge month. He has set a goal
for 80 baptisms this month, and we average about 60 so it'll be quite
the jump, but a district we have the goal to have 13 this month
between 4 companionships which would be awesome! The best month this
area has seen a while. And then i guess if we hit 80 there will be a
day where the whole mission gets together and has like a huge party
all day. I think it'll be sweet. We have 2 on date for october and
hoping to get 1 more tonight!

So that's what's going on in cottonwood 😄

Hope everyone's doing good
