Baptisms are awesome!

So RJ got baptized this week. It was amazing. I can't even really describe the feelings that were evoked from being able to witness it. Anyway, we have another baptism this Saturday and then ANOTHER one scheduled for Sept 26th! Life is just so good!

I got dehydrated last week. That is why I had a headache. I didn't listen to my body and it just got worse. We ended up staying in most of the day on Wednesday and I slept and drank lots of powerade, as per the nurses instructions. I felt infinitely better on Thursday, so that's good!

AZ is still hot, but people keep assuring me that it will be amazing in the fall/winter. I don't know about that, haha. I am getting used to the heat though, so that's fun!

Okay, I feel terrible about this, but also super happy. I have all 3 wards that I'm a part of, convinced that I'm allergic to mushrooms. I changed my mind, I don't really feel bad about that. As I talk to people that invite us over for dinner, they ask me about allergies, but also if there is anything that I would prefer not to eat, so I don't really feel bad being honest with them! I have yet to be served anything with mushrooms!

I GOT TO SEE SISTER SCHMAUCH THIS WEEK!

My companion and I went to the chapel near the Gilbert Temple on Thursday for the Missionary Choir Concert that they (we) put on once a month. I didn't even think that I would be able to see her, it didn't cross my mind, but it made me so happy and just brightened my week! For those of you that don't know, Sister Schmauch was my companion at the MTC and is also from Alaska and is basically the best person.

I love you all! Even if I can't reply to everyone, it makes me so happy to hear from you! Thank you for sending me emails and letters and packages!

My address is: 

3378 w. South Butte rd

Queen Creek, AZ 85142

Love you all!
