"Oh sister arnold you need sunscreen!!..... I literally put 2 pounds on 5 minutes ago..."



HAPPY LATE FATHERS DAY!

Where to begin..... This week was hot!! On Sunday it reached to 119!!
Good thing we were in doors though. This week was a pretty great week!
We were able to get a lot of things done, and do a lot of service.
Monday night we were able to have family home evening with a family in
our ward, the Miller's. Sister Hansen and I absolutely love them to
death, so it was a really great to spend time with them. We were able
to go and visit a lot of people, which made me really happy because
that's what we do as missionaries. We provide service, teach the
gospel, and visit those in need! I love being a missionary because I'm
able to meet so many people and learn about their lives and about how
we can help them come closer to Christ. We also had a few lessons with
two boys who we have on date to baptize on July 2nd!! We are really
excited for them :) I love the Bethany home ward, they have shown us
so much love and compassion. I hope I never get transferred!!
Since it was Father's Day yesterday I read the talk given by Elder D.
Todd Christofferson titled "Fathers". It was given in the April 2016
conference :) (look it up its good) I'm not actually sure why I chose
to read it, because it just made me miss my dad a whole lot, but it
also made me thankful. I really liked when he said -
      "Perhaps the most essential of a father’s work is to turn the
hearts of his children to their Heavenly Father. If by his example as
well as his words a father can demonstrate what fidelity to God looks
like in day-to-day living, that father will have given his children
the key to peace in this life and eternal life in the world to come. A
father who reads scripture to and with his children acquaints them
with the voice of the Lord."
How awesome is that. Fathers are amazing, and I'm really happy that I
am able to not only have a father here on earth but also a Heavenly
Father. I know that he loves us and he wants the best for us. I'm
thankful for fathers :)

Anyways, this week was great... I'm trying to not get skin cancer
every day... I drinking like 2 gallons of water every day (probably
not but I try to drink a lot), and I'm just being my crazy missionary
self. I love you all!! Have a superb week!
