Dyer, Avery P

Hola a todos! Miss you guys! Hope you all had a good week! My week was actually really good and we did a lot of fun things and saw tons of miracles so I'll try not to make this too long.  Last week for pday we went to a place called Reptile Junction and there were tons of lizards and snakes and animals and I got to hold a little turtle and it was super cute! I had an exchange in the vc with Sister Keller on Wednesday and we gave an awesome tour to a guy in a wheelchair who can't really stand or walk at all but at the end of the tour when we were at the Christus, with the help of the missionaries and a member, he stood up and held Jesus's hand and it was just a super tender moment and the spirit was super strong. We did a blitz and found some people for the elders and invited lots of people to chritmas lights. The sunset and the superstition mountains were super pretty and I was just feeling super blessed that day. On Friday I helped film a Facebook video downtown and since ...

Hola a todos! Miss you guys as always! Hope you had a good week. My week was jam packed and super busy but we saw lots of miracles and got lots done. Very productive week and it went by pretty fast. I got a few more wild messages this week. I'll attach the screenshot of one of them below. But also I found someone named José who speaks Spanish and is actually super interested. We decided to call him when he was active on facebook and ended up sharing a scripture and getting his info. So I've gotten a lot of wierd messages recently but also had some sucess which is cool to see. We had a huge miracle this week with a guy named Rubén. He referred himself to the missionaries through a YouTube video link so we got his information but it was pday and then we were in the vc and then it was zone conference so by the time we actually got in contact with him it had been a bit. He had referred himself twice and we thought it was a glitch or something cuz we had two of the same referrals. H...

Hola a todos! Espero que su semana fue buena! My week was pretty good and we worked hard and saw lots of progress which is awesome! Things are picking up in our area and it was super slow for a little bit last transfer and now its picking back up and we are seeing progress which is exciting! Also it's been in the 40's here in the mornings and last month it was still like 110 so it feels absolutely fridgid outside in the mornings haha we are such wimps with the cold. But the weather is pretty much perfect right now so we are super grateful for that. We have been knocking lots of doors and we had a goal to find one new person this week and we found this awesome guy named Ramiro! Not even a grey dot, a new person which is so exciting! When we walked up they had Sonora, México liscense plates on their cars so we knew that house had good potential. We taught him the plan of salvation on his doorstep and he just smiled the whole time and was super joyful. It was awesome! We have gott...

Hello everyone! Hope your week was fun and you all had a good Halloween!  The title of my email is a quote from one of our lessons from this week with a guy we just met named Erick. Absolutely brutal comment. But it was funny and made us laugh. I guess my spanish skills aren't as good as I thought...but regardless of how bad my spanish was, the lesson went really well! Which is awesome and we were super grateful to have a real lesson and we have high hopes and lots of good goals for this transfer. We also had a awesome visit with Raquel. We dropped cookies off and heart attacked her a while ago but just haven't been able to get in contact with her for a long time so this was a knock or drop and on the third knock she opened the door and let us in. She's the sweetest old lady ever and she said that everytime she talks to us she feels really peaceful and that we are like her nietas or granddaughters and her angels. She's so awesome!  We dressed up as elders for the ward h...

Hola a todos! Hope you are all good and had una buena semana. I miss you all. We got transfer news on Saturday and I am staying with Hermana Gonzalez in the same area for at least another transfer. Kinda crazy cuz it's 30 mins from the VC and Christmas lights start later this transfer so we will be driving a lot. Our area is really dry and struggling a lot so I am a bit bummed and am feeling ready for a change but that's okay. I know it'll all work out how it's supposed to and I'm where I'm supposed to be right now. We went to the wedding of Fatima and Israel! It was so fun and kinda blew my mind how easy it is to get married haha. It took like 5 mins total for the ceremony. But hispanic weddings are cool. There was so much food and lots of dancing and it was fun. Then the next day Israel got baptized! We didn't actually find or teach him because they live in the elders area but have been to a few noche de hogars so we still got to go to the wedding and bapt...

Hello everyone! Hope you had an awesome week and that you are all enjoying the fall weather! It finally cooled down a bit here which is awesome! It was in the 70's for two whole days and I wore a sweater both days and it was sooo nice! I am so beyond excited that it's less than 100 degrees now. It's back to being in the mid 90's all week next week but the couple of fall days were so nice! All my friends in other missions are dreading winter but I am so excited for winter here haha. This week was a grind, especially with the extra day but lots of awesome things happened! A BUNCH of people were baptized in our mission on Saturday and there are just so many crazy miracles and awesome things happening in the AZMM right now! We are striving to find the elect. Those who are truly ready. Not just random hispanic guys who just want us to teach them cuz they think we are cute (this happens way too often its alarming) but people who are truly ready to change and to hear the gospe...

Hola a todos! Hope you are all doing good! Next pday is on Tuesday and we are going to the temple and I am so excited! It was a pretty normal week honestly, not much happened but I'll try and make this interesting for you all. Also this is supposed to be the last week with triple digit temperatures so yayyy!! Last pday we went bowling for district sports and it was so fun! I won with a whopping score of 119. Then once we ran all our errands, we went back to our house and it was boiling hot because our AC broke so we camped out at the church all day. Our shower also leaks water all over the floor. But our doorbell plays come come ye saints when we ring it so it makes up for all the things in our house that are sorta broken! Missionary apartments are wierd haha We dropped so many people this week who aren't responding or just aren't progressing which is sad but that gives us more time and energy to devote to finding new people who actually want to hear the gospel. Knocking do...
