Dyer, Avery P

Hola a todos! Espero que todos ustedes estén bien! I'm doing good, still here in Apache Junction, AZ. It cooled down for about 3 days, but this week was back up to like 105 every day, so needless to say, I'm getting excited for winter haha! This week was super busy as always and we had a bunch of meetings. We had training academy and had a super good training on helping our friends keep commitments and they drilled daily contacts on us so we have been making a better effort to do that this week. I also had a social media meeting. I got put on the social media team for my mission so everyone go follow Luz de Cristo on Facebook! Our friends that we are teaching right now either don't respond, are super flaky, or don't want us to teach them anymore so me and my comp have been doing more service projects recently which I have absolutely loved! This week one of the things we did was help move stuff out of an old school. We were going to help move boxes from the trailer into ...

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well! This week was pretty good and we were super busy and had lots of lessons and tours where the spirit was so strong and we made like 3 different people cry so that was cool. Had a meeting with Elder Bednar which was so so good! We also had some pretty sad moments this week too. None of the people we had on date are going to he baptized this month which is a big bummer. It sucks when you come to love someone you are teaching and they just don't follow through or don't wanna be baptized anymore. Buttttt we are starting to teach some new people and there are still tons of positives! Even when people slam the door in your face, or tell you they aren't gonna be baptized even though you already planned everything and reserved the font, there are still so many happy moments. We saw a MASSIVE rattlesnake Tuesday night when we were finding at a park. It was like 3 feet long and just slithered across the path we were walking on. My comp had ...

Hola a todos!! Tomorrow marks 3 months as a missionary and one transfer done here in Mesa! Kinda crazy that I've been a missionary this long already. Feels like I've been doing this my whole life but also I just started?? Anyways I'm staying here in Adobe for the next transfer with the same comp which is good! We are excited for another transfer together and she's awesome so I'm excited. This week was honestly pretty boring and chill. Nothing super interesting happened but I'll give you guys some highlights. I gave a training in the visitors center in our meeting on Wednesday and talked about baptisms for the dead in the temple and it was super fun! I miss being able to go to the temple whenever I want but I am super grateful that I get to go once a transfer. I talk about the temple in like every email, I just love the temple.  We had such a good lesson with Margarita and her family and ironed out some details for their baptism. One of her kids kept asking quest...

Hola a todos! Miss you guys! Hope you all had a wonderful week! My week was pretty good, it felt super duper long with the extra day and adjusting to being in a duo instead of a trio but otherwise it was good! So many crazy moments this week so I'll give you guys the rundown.  Hermana Jones went home a week ago it's just been me and Hna Gonzalez. She understands everything I say in English but almost always responds in Spanish which is helping me learn so so much and its so fun and my spanish is improving a ton. Sometimes when I don't understand she speaks English but we speak almost all spanish in our companionship so it's super fun! We did water balloon wars at district sports last pday which was so fun! Had some super good lessons this week and found a couple new people which is always good! Hna Gonzalez gives me all of the directions when we are driving in Spanish and sometimes she gets her lefts and rights mixed up so we've made a lot of wrong turns this week h...

Hola a todos! Miss you guys and hope you all had a good week! My week was pretty good. Somehow I've been here in Mesa for almost a month already which is crazy. Anyways Hermana Jones leaves tomorrow which is sad. She's taught me so much and she's an awesome missionary. Also she's been the translator for me and Hna Gonzalez so the language barrier will make things a little harder but it'll help me learn Spanish so it'll be good. This week felt kinda long because we had 3 exchanges. Two normal ones and one in the VC. But things are still going great and we have 4 more people on date for baptism so 5 total right now which is absolutely awesome!! Also we combined with another area and played with nerf guns during district sports last week which was fun! Something I loved from this week was watching the sunsets cuz the sunsets here in AZ are gorgeous every night and always make me smile! Ok so I had an exchange on Tuesday with Hermana DeMarco and it was fun! She went...
