Geraldine Monroe and her sons, Andrew and Aaron were
baptized this week!
The baptism was incredible, and they were all confirmed on Sunday!
Geraldine immediately received a calling to be the ward librarian.

One look at the library room, and she exclaimed, "Oh,
this place will be brand new when I'm through with it!"
The Monroe family was so quick and willing to follow Jesus Christ.
Such an incredible, inspiring family.

I am being transferred to Leupp, Arizona!
Bittersweet, and I will miss Fort Defiance and the family
that I have made here dearly, but I am ready for a change. I'll be taking all
of you with me to Leupp! I love you all :)
Leupp is supposed to be very small and dismal compared to Fort, and I already thought Fort was tiny! There is one small store there, and everyone, upon hearing where I was going, laughed and said, "that place is the sticks!", or "it's SO hot and dusty down there!", and even, "who are you going to teach, lizards?". Looks like it's deep reservation for me.
This is going to be a huge change! I'm going from one of the most desirable areas in the mission, with city and a big ward, to the middle of the desert! I'll be living with one other elder instead of 3, also!

I often feel so exhausted, lonely, and tired out here, but
it is always worth it.
"For a long time, I always wondered if I was forgiven.
Things weighed me down, and I struggled a lot. Honestly, that was always with
me, until the day Elder Hilton and Pincock showed up on my front step."

Baptism of Geraldine Monroe and her sons Andrew and Aaron!
This is Jumbo from
Ganado, he is the nicest guy I have ever met. He is a counselor in the
bishopric there, and buys steaks, brats, and burgers just for the elders to
enjoy. We have visited him several times ;)

The Foster family had us over tonight for cake and a magic
show! I will miss them so much!
my Foster family!
