First Week In The Books! S1 Ep1


February 6, 2023

What's up Everyone! I'm not really quite sure where to start, this week was a pretty wild one. I got into the Provo MTC this week which was pretty good. I'm with my district in person which is probably one of the best things right now. But I am absolutely LOVING the MTC and the mission life right now. I am learning so much every day. Some things I am learning the hard way though, haha. The Spirit here is very special and very strong.

Moving on, I was assigned as the District Leader! I wasn't quite sure if I was right for the job but I'm definitely getting used to it. Everyone kinda feels like my little kiddos. Even though I'm younger than most of them😂But I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve my friends and fellow missionaries as their DL. 

I have had a lot of spiritual experiences already, some of which are reaaallly crazy. I've had some super cool personal revelation and all that jazz. One thing I have learned is that my handwriting is absolutely TRASH. But with any luck it'll improve over the next 2 years, haha. These missionaries in my district are absolutely amazing. Their testimonies, goals, and desires are such good motivation. Their past experiences and willingness to share what they have learned is awesome.

One thing I wanna talk about is Heavenly Father's plan. I know that he has a plan for each and every one of of us here on this Earth. We may not always agree with the path he is taking us on, and we may think we know better. But God works in mysterious ways, and we need to trust in him and act in faith for he truly does know all. Be patient, trust in his plan, and press forward in steadfastness!

Love you all, I will see you guys in the next one.

Not sure where to start

 May 15, 2023 S3 ep 1 Hey everyone, this last week was definitely an interesting one. My trainee Elder Deniger is doing really good, he's a great guy and he is excited to be here. He's a great missionary. Aside from our mission culture meeting on Friday everything was pretty normal.  But a lot happened and is changing as of today.  I am no longer in the Arizona Scottsdale Mission. The ASM has been cut in half and is now split into the new Flagstaff Arizona Mission and the rest into the Phoenix Arizona Mission. As of such I am not going to be seeing most of the friends I've made for who knows how long. At least the rest of the mission but probably more. I'm now on my second set of Mission Presidents and in a month I will get a new set. We have transfers again in 3 weeks so I have also lost 3 weeks of my mission. I've lived with the AP's for these last months and they are both leaving and getting split up, 1 to each mission. I'll definitely miss them, so the...

S1 Ep8 We Scrounged a Weight Machine

 April 10, 2023 How's it going everyone? I hope you all have had a great week and a phenomenal Easter, I sure know I did. We had Easter dinner with the Campbell's, a family that we are teaching right now. We think they are going to get baptized, so that is super exciting! I'm pretty tired, so I'm gonna keep this short, but it was a good week. We worked hard, and are starting to see it pay off. One cool thing this week is that we were biking around and found an entire Smith machine in a dudes driveway with a "free" sign on it. So, being elders we naturally called up a member with a truck and chucked it in our front room. It was pretty epic. Crazy to think I hit 2 months in the field this week and 3 months as a missionary in less than 2 weeks! Absolutely loving it out here, go read 3 Nephi 22:11-13. Some great scriptures. Trust the Lord and he will strengthen and garnish thy foundation. Have a great week, stay safe everyone  Elder Cozzens  Also it...
