Living by an airfield! (Sept. 8th email)

Hey family!!

Thanks for all the pictures and the videos. Hilarious. I loved them! The Ogden temple looks huge and super pretty. That's so cool that everyone got to come :)

Utah's weather sounds way better than California's! Isn't that backwards ;) That is good you are getting some rain! Hopefully some clouds will roll around here :)

We live right by an old military airfield, and there has been an airshow this past weekend. That was so distracting to have them flying around all the time. It fascinated me and reminded me of always going to the airshows! They are awesome.

That's amazing Sawyer scored his goal! What a pro. The pictures are all awesome! I need to improve my skills so we can play later and I don't get embarrassed ;)

We had a good week! A lot of people came to church this past week, which was amazing to see. That is when they can really progress. The Lord is blessing this area a ton. There are so many prepared people. The lady that just showed up to church last week accepted a date for later on this month, and she is awesome. Just 2 days before the missionaries knocked on her door, she had found her belief in God. She was raised without any religious background, which is really uncommon with the latinos, so there is so much to learn and it is super exciting.

Elder Graham found out this week that he is allergic to soy as well this week. Haha the poor guy. Now all we need is lactose intolerant and he will starve to death! We are having a great time together though! 

We met some Egyptians and Sikhs this week, which was cool. The diversity here is crazy. Our branch president's wife, Hna. Bair, has started doing Zumba dancing classes whatever during the week, which is awesome because Spanish ladies LOVE Zumba haha. So hopefully it will be great to help investigators find fellowship and feel loved in the branch! We have been trying to visit everyone we can on our branch list so we can figure things out and help the branch grow and talking to everyone we can. It has been great and we have been busy as ever. It is the best. I love mission life so much. Even though it kills me ;)

I love you all. Thank you for all your love. I am so grateful for you! I have the best family in the world. Be safe and stay strong! I love and miss you guys!
