Mesa, Transfers, and Thanksgiving!

S7 ep 3, 4 and S8 ep 1

Hey all! Just wanted to write super quick and let you all know I'm doing well, (assuming you read thesešŸ¤£) and having a blast. So much has happened, and I just frankly don't have enough time. But we had transfers, and I'm staying here and getting a new companion! His name is Elder Copple and he's from Colorado! He is super dope, and we have a ton of fun. We get along great! I'm excited to see what happens moving forward. 

We got to go to Mesa for a night for a temple trip with our recent convert, and it was awesome. The missionaries out there had a concert so there were hundreds of missionaries out and about! For some reason they could all tell we didn't belong (it wasn't in our mission) and got to talk with a lot of them. Elder Copple found a sister he knew from back home! 

Side note, Happy Thanksgiving! I got to spend it with some family friends that live here in AZ and it was awesome. I'm so grateful for every little thing God has given me. 

I've been reading the Infinite Atonement and boy is this book incredible. It is so faith building and just oh so good. If you haven't read it yet, you NEED to. It will change the way you see the Atonement and your relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. It's at Deseret Book! 

I love you all, thanks for reading.

I'm still chuggin along

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...
