Possibly My Last Week in Sierra Vistaaaaaahhhhh

Well we got our iPad's and gosh darnit they are beautiful. Opening that package was like, really great idk I was trying to think of an analogy. But yeah I'll send a picture of the beautiful box not that any of you care at all :)
But...what happened..uhm oh yeah Chloe got baptized yesterday!!! And boy, I mean I don't think there is such thing as a "bad" baptism...but this one definitely wasn't perfect haha. Chloe and her Grandpa (her Grandpa bless his soul)...were so excited, everything was going great and how it was supposed to, then they got in the font. So Chole's Grandpa is a reactivated member of a couple years, so he isn't super knowledgeable in the gospel, but he thinks he is! So they get in the font and he start to say the prayer, butchers it, and then continues to dunk Chloe...who is not wanting to go under the water at all. So, Round 2: Elder Pectol and I are witnessing, so we are all "K this is how the prayer goes make sure you say it word for word." "Oh did I say it wrong?" "UH YEAH DUDE." So he goes again, butchers the prayer, again, and then tries to shove her under the water, again. Unsuccessful. So we do that like 8 times, you probably think I'm exaggerating, but I think it was like 8 or 12 times or something. FINALLY: "OK BROTHER ARMSTRONG WE ARE GOING TO SAY WORD FOR WORD THE BAPTISM PRAYER REPEAT AFTER ME....CHLOE GET UNDER THE WATER GOSH DANGIT, I DONT CARE WHAT YOU DO JUST GET UNDER." Well, it finally worked, she almost drowned...ahhhhhh #Blessed.
FUN TIMES EH :D
The baptism happened, who cares how long at takes or how ugly it is as long as we get to heaven right? Mmmk.
We also had stake conference this week, President and Sister Passey came down for a few days so we gotta chill with them, and I freaking love them they are seriously so chill I could literally see myself hanging out with them back home haha, it's super nice to have a cool Mission President/Wife :) But stake conference was pretty awesome, there are a TON of missionaries leaving from this stake in a few weeks/months, made me think of all my friends! Is anyone coming to AZ?? lol.
But that brings me to another story, so we have this super good friend in the ward named David, we help him and his family out all the time, he recently put in his papers, so we were all talking about where he was going to go. His mom was like just imagine if he went to Utah (cuz they are probably moving up soon) And we were like, nah that wont happen, you guys have too much family there and stuff like, NOT HAPPENIN DUDE SORRY. Well we open his call yesterday and WHAT DO YOU FREAKING KNOW SALT LAKE CITY SOUTH MISSION. I about died, seriously so random, like the one place in the world that we all thought was exempt. haha joy, although I was never expecting AZ so whatevs, God's a funny guy.

Super sad news about Elder Perry, I SHOOK THAT MANS HAND. I'm sure he's doin just fine though, I wonder who the new Apostle is gonna be? Hmmmm...<3
Well guys what else happened this week? I'll just leave it at that...too long, but if you are gonna write me in the near future send it to my Tucson address cause I'm probably leaving!!! Like I really want to leave but at the same time this place is freaking awesome and I have like a trillion memories here, ugh I'm so torn.

Bye hunnies.
