Having the time of his life

Greetings,
 
It has been the hardest week that I've ever had my entire life.  We started out with lots of promising appointments this week, but most of them fell through which was a little disappointing.  Every day was a challenge both physically and spiritually.  I thought I'd never be able to stay awake with all of the work we've been doing, but when it seems like I've reached the very bitter end somehow we push through the rest of the day.  Then every morning we get up and do the whole thing over again.  I should say that we have seen lots of blessings.  In one ward that has been pretty slow we finally found some people to teach which made our week.  Probably one of the hardest things we did was dig a grave for a dog in someone's backyard.  It was an interesting experience to say the least.  It was a good 2 hours of work to get the hole deep enough.  My companion has back problems so he couldn't help which meant it was a long night.  with every stroke of the pick I was pretty sure that my body was about to collapse.  If I hadn't been drinking water all day I would have said that I was dehydrated.  Exhaustion isn't the word I would use more like completely spent, but my body just keeps coasting.  Believe it or not we have a similar week this week. 
 
I am having the time of my life.  There is no where else in the entire world that I would want to be.  Where ever I go AZ will have a special place in my heart.  The weather I could probably do without.
 
To put everyone's mind at ease we drink water all day.  We drink so much water that we can't drink anymore.

Special moment of the day we've been working with alot of couples recently that aren't married which is really a challenge.  You want to just show them that when you are married life is so much better.  I've seen that so much on my mission.  There are so many couples that are not married and for one reason or another they think that it's better or they're not ready for marriage.  All I know is that everyone I've seen that is married is so much better off in every way.
 
 
Well it's a long week looking for a good nap this afternoon:)
 
Love you all
