Mom's cousin Shane made it out to buy lunch for the Elders. Jayden ended up on the back of his Harley accidentally going for a crazy ride that may or may not have been against mission rules. :)
This was how transfer day went. With so many missionaries coming into the Phoenix Arizona mission due to extra missionaries that are not allowed to go to their originally called mission and very few leaving, most companions only have 1-2 wards they look after.
It was time for Jayden to say goodbye to his trainer Elder Jones after 12 weeks. His new trainer is Elder Tanaman from the Philippines. He is 26 years old and only has 3 months left before going home.
This was Jayden's 7 days of Gratitude from the Prophets' Challenge:
Day 1
Ive been extremely blessed to serve around so many amazing missionaries but most of all i'm grateful to be able to proclaim the restored gospel to the people of Arizona. I can't wait to continue helping and serving the people here!
Day 2: I'm so grateful to be able to see the beauty the world has to offer every day! Sometimes I feel like we can forget how beautiful our surroundings are, but if we are able to just stop and admire the beauty all around us it can help change the way we think. Ultimately the beauty of nature should turn our thoughts back towards Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They have have given us so much and now I just want to show my gratitude for the beauty of the world.
Day 3: Today i would have to say that I am so grateful for technology. It has been such a blessing to continue to meet with people over means of technology. It truly is a testament that the Lords work is hastening and there are more ways than ever to share the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. #givethanks Day 4: I'm so grateful to be in a church that is led by a prophet of God. I fully sustain President Nelson as prophet, seer, and revelator of the church. He is someone who deeply cares about everyone in the church and the welfare of the people.
Day 5: I am SO grateful for the friends that have shaped me into who I am today. I really can't thank all of them enough. I have been so blessed to be friends with so many amazing people, who have made me be better on a daily basis. I can't wait to see what life brings each one of them next.
Day 6: I am SO SO grateful for my family! I can't express enough love and gratitude for all of their support over the years. I am also so grateful for all my grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Every single one of them means so much to me and I can't wait to see what life has in store for all of them! #givethanks
Day 7: I am so grateful for the saviors influence in my life. I am so grateful that he loves all of his brothers and sister so much that He was willing to put down his life for us. Everyday we need to strive to be more like him and follow in his example. I have a testimony that He lives and He is waiting for us with open arms. His sacrifice for us is the ultimate sacrifice and for that I can't be grateful enough. #givethanks
