S8 Ep 2, 3, 4

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well. Life is pretty dandy here in AZ. My comp is a stud, and we have a ton of fun together. I have a great area, a great district and we have some incredible friends who are progressing very well, and we should have 1 or 2 on date this week.

We got to go to the temple this week, our mission President is giving us an extra time as a Christmas gift so that was sweet!

I don't know if I told you all or not but I sprained my wrist pretty badly at a turkey bowl, and luckily it's not broken, but it's still kinda busted so that's made life a little difficult and annoying but it is what it is. 

2 Miracles. The first is we got a referral for a guy named Tyrell who randomly walked into church one Sunday, and started talking with missionaries, and now we're teaching him. So we gave him a BOM, thinking it was a brand new one. When we came back, he had read what we asked him and more, and he showed us that it was already marked and highlighted and stuff. Turns out every single passage that was marked answered a question, or it was something he needed.

Miracle 2, we got a referral who is basically on date already! She should be baptized In a couple weeks so that was super cool.

I've been cooking more recently, I've started making BBQ chicken sandwiches and beef tacos and other goodies, so that has been a lot of fun. It's bulking season baby.💪As soon as my wrist can take more weight I can start working out again, so that'll be nice.

Crazy I'm approaching 11 months, almost halfway... Feels like yesterday I was goofing off in the MT

The gospel is true and Jesus loves all of you. Have a great day!!

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...
