Howdy y'all? 

I'm just kidding. I won't turn into a cowboy. Probably. Also Happy 4th! My P-day is today. Anyways, last Tuesday I found out I was getting emergency transferred to Buckeye! Which is super west, a bunch of nothing, desert, farmland, and random civilization. But it is AWESOME! The Elder I replaced just swapped into my old area. He just needed to be me moved out of here and so President picked me to replace him, and I'll be the DL out here in Buckeye. Which has 0 sisters within like 25 miles. Kinda depressing. But it's also a party because these Elders are amazing. And crazy. And Chaotic. But they're incredible. We live with a trio. It's fun!

I don't really know where to start. A lot has happened since my last email, like a TON😂 My new area is the largest non-YSA area in the mission. We have 1 of 4 trucks, and we've got lots of random dirt roads and random stuff spaced out over 1.5-2 hour drives. It's pretty sweet. We're over 3 wards and there are tons of amazing members. Some of which are fellow Cozzens, and we're 4th cousins... or should I say Cozzens?🤭 I didn't even know we had family out here. But we do! So I've just been adjusting to the new area, meeting the members, finding big spiders and yelling at Tiwi. We have a Baptism on the 14th. I didn't do a single thing for it. but it'll be a great experience!

 We also got to meet our new Mission President and his wife and have interviews with them, the Fisks! They're awesome and really looking forward to these next 18.5 months with them, it's gonna be awesome. 

 My comp (Elder Peck, he's awesome) kicked a bird and killed it so our roommate Elder Bass (also my mission grandpa) made him pluck, gut, cook, and eat it. It was pretty crazy and he also ate the heart raw which was way nasty😂

 As far as the work, I don't really know much except we are in a finding phase. Everyone either dropped us or got baptized. That's about it so yeah😂

My mind is too busy to think right now, so I don't really have a spiritual thought. We had our zone activity today and it was pretty good. We pretty much just played sports at the church, I definitely didn't really feel like I belonged in the zone, I mean most of them are APM missionaries, and I haven't even been here for a week, plus the mission is still working on being unified, but overall it was pretty good. 

I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of stuff, but that's all I can think of right now. Love you all, Feel free to reach out.

Founded in Faith,

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...
