S6 ep 4

What's up everyone! Hope everything is going well for all of you. Sorry this is late, it's been a crazy busy day, so don't expect too much from this email haha.

We were very blessed this week key-indicator wise, we were able to find quite a few people and get them to church! We met some really promising people, as well as a few interesting ones haha, hence the title.

One of these people is named Gina! She is super sweet and really genuine and wants to meet with us again! Turns out she had already been reading the Book of Mormon and then we stopped by. Unfortunately she has also been reading "The Sealed Portion" of the Book of Mormon too that contains the Book of Lehi and stuff. Get this. It was translated by.... Christopher! No last name, just Christopher. No publisher either. I read some of it and wow is it interesting 😂 It talks about Heavenly Mother and a bunch of other interesting things. It was kind of cool. After we talked with her we saw a rocket launch from SpaceX, they were putting another satellite up and that was pretty cool.

Our friend Magnolia is still on date for baptism later this month and progressing really well! I'm super excited for her and her decision to be baptized, it's gonna be awesome. I have a little red rubber duck that I use to teach sometimes and she wants it so I'm going to be parting ways with him in a bit.

I'm doing great and there isn't anywhere else I'd rather be than right here in Buckeye! I've found a few more Scorpions and other bits and bobs, but it's awesome out here.

Go study the Atonement! It will increase your faith in Christ and help you understand and grow!

Love you all,

Elder Cozzens

March 4, 2024 Hey everyone! Just wanted to write and let you all know that I'm still here in AZ knocking doors and teaching people about Jesus! It's going well, and really is flying by.  I don't have much time today, but I hope you all are doing well and if you have any questions or just want to talk feel free to reach out!  Maybe I'll write more next week. We will see.  Love you all! God loves you all too!  Elder Cozzens

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...
