Hey Mom!!
Gunnison has been super great. It's a branch so there really aren't a lot of people, maybe twenty active families and only about twelve of those are with young kids. So it's small, but everyone has been super nice and the weather has been great also. since I've been here it's been over 80 every day. And yup you heard right I'm over a branch, and only a branch so it's sorta nice to only focus on one and not two but from a ward and a branch to just a branch...it's...different :)
Our apartment is a space above a separate garage that was renovated into an apartment. It's really nice, clean and it's smaller which is actually kinda nice, everything is really close and we have a futon. :P
So the work is kind of slow right now, because the previous missionary here was really sick and for almost the entire transfer she was sick and they weren't able to do a lot of work, they had to stay home most of the time. So it's almost like we are whitewashing...starting from the beginning :)
I've met a lot of the members so far and everyone is super nice and even though it's a small branch they fill up our dinner calendar fast :) yay!! food!!!!!
We have this one investigator named Carrie and she is super cool and she LOVES the story of Joseph Smith and the idea of modern day prophets. She just has a hard time seeing the reason why she needs to come to church. But she loves having us over, because she feels so good when we do come over. She is also reading the Doctrine and Covenants, any suggestions on homework for her? Maybe about church or something, I'm not very familiar with it like I probably should be :)
And then this guy named Hosea approached us and said that he was curious to know what the Mormons believe, I thought to myself 'You just said the magic words, do you have an hour...or two) :) so we taught a quick two minute restoration lesson, got to know him a bit and set up a return appointment at the church this Saturday! Definitely a Miracle!!!!!!
So...Colorado is getting it's SECOND temple!!!!!! In October, on your birthday, I think...cuz it's on either the 16th or the 17th, and they are broadcasting the dedication ceremony to the entire state of Colorado. And it will only be in the stake buildings which they are making into and extension of the temple!! super cool!!! So to get in we need a temple recommend (which I have) and a white handkerchief, I don't have one of those and I'm not sure where to get one, would it be possible for you to send one to me? with some sweet mango slices from Sam's Club :) and colorful maxi skirts? cuz my wardrobe, I've noticed, Is kind of...dark :P
Also are you guys doing the worldwide indexing thing the 15th through the 17th of July, if not you should it's gonna be great!!! and there is a Mormon Tabernacle Broadcast on the 23rd at 8 pm. I think it's for pioneer day, but it will be a great missionary opportunity :) INVITE FRIENDS!!!!!
