It has been a super fun week! We had Stake Conference Sunday so that was super fun because I got a chance to see a ton of people from the Pueblo ward! The Denver Temple President and his wife were there and they talked a lot about how important it is to make the Temple a regular thing. Going often is really good but also setting a time where that is the day and time you go. Don't give yourself and excuse not to go. But make a plan to go. I loved that and though it so fitting with the Temple in Tucson about to be Dedicated here in little bit.

We had a really great exchange with the Rye Elders this week, I went to Rye with Elder Worthing, it was really good time we went to a Mission Call opening for one of the Young men in the ward, We also found a man would say he is a witch. He said he would like to learn more about our Church and we set up an appointment to go and meet with him! It was really fun to talk with him a little bit!

We went on an amazing hike today to a lake called the Lake in the Clouds. It was a 10 mile hike and we went up to about 12000 ft. Westcliffe is only at 7800 so we went up a good amount. The air was super thin, it was so worth it though! Parts of the Trail was covered in snow so it was kind of sketchy to not really be sure of where you were going or if I was on the right path.

It made me think about the different times in life I was not 100% if I was doing the right thing, but just like those times in life we have the help of someone who has been there before. On the hike it was an Elder who had a hiking GPS in life it is the Savior and the writings in the Holy Scriptures. I really liked the lesson I learned from that hike.

Trust in good sources and good things come trust in not so good sources and you will get lost.

I am so grateful for Jesus Christ, He will never lead me into places where I will get lost.

Love you guys!

 

If you get a chance to go tour the Tucson LDS Temple let me know what you thought about it! I can't wait to see it when I get home!
