Panama by way of Colorado. Hermana Bledsoes mission

I finally took pictures this week so I have something to show you guys!  This week was insane and probably one of the best weeks of my mission so far. Here are some highlights: -It POURED rain out of nowhere (gotta love monsoon season I guess) lots of lightning too  -We pulled weeds and it was super muddy hahaa - Someone had QUAIL and gave us some pickled quail eggs and also a FAT zucchini. (we made muffins using the zucchini)  - There was a church building in Fruita (nearby city) that was burned down a couple months ago (arsen) and they just announced last night that the church was just going to bulldoze the property and not rebuild it for a couple years.... That was sad news but its okay.  And my FAVORITE part of this week was teaching Neena. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and she was just in awe. We asked if she believed it, and she said she did so we invited her to be baptized. She picked her own date (August 15th) and she was so excited ...

Good news everyone, it has been above 100 all week and I haven't died yet. That wouldn't be saying much, if we had air conditioning.... Our apartment is currently 87 degrees and it's totally awesome. On the bright side, we had a tri-stake fast for rain yesterday. So we'll be getting rain here pretty soon:)  Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you all did something exciting, we as missionaries just read about Captain Moroni and his awesome feats in protecting the liberty of HIS people... And just how this land was chosen to always be a land of freedom. Captain Moroni is one of my favorite heroes of all time. Just to reiterate what kind of person he was, I give you Alma 48:17- "If all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men."  I think that speaks for itself. No commentary necessary.  Anyway, I hope you ar...
