September 12, 2016 Daijah on date, service and PM couple!

Hey fam! So I want to write all of you but this will have to suffice
for now, maybe one day I'll have more time! I have loved everything
about this week! We had a lesson with our investigator Daijah and put
her on date for October 8th!!! We got to do some service for our
investigator Christie and also met a PM couple that are snowbirds and
they're back for the cooler weather! He's not a member but he's a
service missionary for the church... he gets all huffy any time you
bring up baptism so no one knows what his concerns are. Any
suggestions? Our other investigator Roseanna got all her top teeth
extracted and got her denture this week! As you could imagine she's in
quite a bit of pain but it's been amazing to see the ward be there for
her through all of this, they're truly amazing! That's a little update
on the area:) Transfers are Wednesday and we find out tomorrow what
will happen. I'm not sure if I'll stay or go but I love my area and my
companion so a girl could hope! We're still STLs and I love being able
to have such good relationships with tons of sisters you wouldn't
normally get to serve close with.
I SERIOUSLY CANT WAIT TO HAVE YOU 7 MIN AWAY BEN&CAL!!!!! So much
excitement I can't even handle it! How was the first day on the new
job Ben?? Also how fun to have a multi-stake conference! I'm SO
grateful to have such a wonderful family! I LOVE being a missionary
and I learn so much every day. Thank you for your wonderful examples
and have the greatest week ever!

Love, Sister Eaton

We're on egg duty

My cute companion and I before church!

I love you all!!

There's no place I would rather be than here serving in AZ on Labor
Day! I don't have too much time but I wanted to make sure you know how
much I love you! I'm doing great and I'm happy to hear all is well
back home:) That's fun you were able to have a get together with
Austin&Eli. Also that's so cool to hear that Abretia has decided to
serve! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!! I can't say it more but it's
seriously is the best thing! Transfers are the 14th so stay posted on
what will happen! I love you both!! Have a great week and I'll talk
with you soon:)

Love, Sister Eaton

Exchanges with Sister Riker and Bob

In honor of football season here is my comp and I sportin our Cardinals shirts. Also, I've not 

been in AZ too long - I'm still happy to hear BYU won U of A!

August 29 - August is over...

Yes I do wish I could stop time for just a minute. I love every minute! It seems you've had a great week! I have to admit it's extremely weird for me to hear about Whit hanging out with my friends.. Everyone seems to be doing well though which is great! I don't think I need anything and I can't think of anything I want. You can save the money to go shopping when I get home though haha I'll write you a letter today, I LOVE YOU MOM!!!! 

Love, your baby girl, Sister Eaton

August 22 - Plans for after the mission??

Such exciting news from everyone! I can't believe how fast time passes.. Next week is already September for goodness sake! It looks like you had a blast at Snowbird! That's good Nicholas still hangs out with y'all! And we got a new bishop! That's nice of him to get my email. And you got a new car! It'll be at least a few months until I get a phone haha Also Brandon's starting school! Laguna would be a great place for us to visit:) Here's what I'm thinking as far as school goes... I won't go until April but I'm thinking of moving to Provo in January or so to live with B&C and nanny for them if they need me or working at Vivint or something. The YSA scene is much better in Provo than having a HS reunion each Sunday. That way I can save some money and be reacquainted with the fam and friends before I leave for school. What are your thoughts? And you're right we'll still be able to talk as much as we want:) I still have to run it by B&C so we'll see what they think. Have fun watching Jonah play! Give everyone a hug for me and let grandma and grandpa let them know how much I love them❤️ I love being a missionary and it seems to just get better and better! I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!! 

Love, your baby girl, Sister Eaton 

Our investigator Roseanna, her son Jonathan and his friend Ethyn. I love them so much!

My cute companion and I after a session!

August 15 - Invests to church, Kate's baptism, monsoon season, exchanges and twins!

Kate's Baptism!!!

#WalmartSpecial#TwinningisWinning

Yesterday Roseanna came to church with her 3 children! I love them so much! I have a new

best friend, Evelyn,  who doesn't go anywhere without holding my hand.

Our exchange with Sister Lungu and Pennington! Fun story: so I trained Sister Berezay

who is not in the picture, who trained sister Lungu (to my left) and she is now training

Sister Pennington (to my right). And my cute companion of course! So fun!

It's monsoon season!! Which means everything floods for a few days after it pours buckets.

We decided to bike for the day... not our brightest idea seeing how rain doesn't come 

without humidity.

August 8 - Adjusted and loving Gilbert :)

I'm staying another transfer! This week has been great and passed too
quickly, I don't know where all the time goes! I loved hearing and
seeing pics from the Island Park trip! I'm also happy to hear gramps
and gram are doing well! I sure love them! It's about killing me not
being able to watch the olympics but sacrifices bring forth great
blessings, right?😉 As far as the weather it's still hotter than Hades
down here but the monsoons cool things off a bit and add humidity that
I don't know how to deal with but they're amazing! We do have some
wonderful people we're teaching but not quite as many as YSA where I
came from which is okay and I knew it would be that way. I've adjusted
nicely to my new area here in Gilbert- a stranger paid for our
groceries today while we were checking out and we got a free car wash!
But it really is a great area and I'm loving every minute! I need to
stop blinking because every time I do another week has passed! Each
week we try to get 20 teaching opportunities, including members
taught, and this week we got 21 which is a huge achievement! I'm
excited for this new transfer and I love you both so much!!! I'll talk
with you soon❤️

Love, Sister Eaton

AUGUST 1ST! - Transfers, Pedis and Staying Busy

Sounds like an exciting week full of family and fun and I GOT A NEW
NEPHEW!!!!! I love how much time you're able to spend with everyone,
especially this summer! Island Park is going to be a blast! I'm
excited for all of you! Okay and I just need to clarify.... Maren my
friend from high school is marrying Aaron Williams?? If so that's
crazy weird! Okay moving on. Transfers are this Wednesday which means
leadership calls are tonight and transfer calls are tomorrow. I have
not a clue what will happen but we'll soon find out! Thank you for
being my #1 fans, I love you both so much! I can't believe how fast
time flys! It's already August! I'm staying hydrated in the crazy
weather, enjoy your 100 degrees pops😉 Our member is takin us to get
pedis! Perks of serving in fancy wards. I LOVE YOU BOTH!!!! Have the
BEST week every!!! But don't have too much fun without me and go down
the river once for me!

Love, Sister Eaton
