We went up to the LBT (Large Binocular Telescope) and 2 other
telescopes this past P Day which was pretty cool minus the fact that we were
there forever haha. But this is why I'm on today doing emailing and not
yesterday. I woke up at 5am yesterday to do laundry and clean and write a few
letters. We left at 7:30 and didn't get back until 6:45. We had 2 appointments
last night and we grabbed a few groceries in between the appointments. Quite
the day haha. I learned a lot of really cool things though. The 2 tour guides
were both members and they connected everything to the Book of Moses and other
scriptures talking about the workings of God, which was super cool. To know
Science is to know God. One of the telescopes up there is call The Vatican and
yes, it is owned by the Catholic Church. The Priests there have PhDs and they
said that the more they know about the universe, the more they know about God.
Sounds like what we believe right?!

We helped out at a Basketball Camp
this whole past week that Brother Douglas was running. It was a lot of fun and
we got to meet a lot of really cool people! I've gotten a lot better at
Basketball since coming here to Willcox but I think I will still never been
good haha. Hermana Adams would be so disappointed. :P
We had a Relief Society activity this past
week where Hermana Garcia taught everyone how to knit. It was a lot of fun! I
learned how to do a basic chain knot but then ended up talking to people the
rest of the time. Sounds like me right? Haha I can't sit still for very long.
On Thursday we had dinner with the
Whittenbrakers. They live WAY out in the middle of farm country. About an hour
drive from Willcox. About 5 minutes away from their house I look down and the
gas light came on. There is no gas station between here and where they live.
Fetch....BUT they work on a farm and were able to help us out! That could have
been so bad haha. They are such a sweet family, I like them a lot!
Last Monday while buying groceries,
a sister from 1st Ward bought our groceries for us :) and then when we were
buying supplies to make food for Sister Rios' birthday Bishop Chaffey was there
and he bought the food. Seriously we have been so blessed! I feel like everyone
here really looks out for the missionaries. The elders said they've been to
Subway twice this past week and members paid both times. Willcox is great :)
Love you all much! I will talk to
you soon! Bye!
