Post Mission P-Day

~Highlight of the Week: ROLANDO GOT BAPTIZED!!! ~

So. . . missionaries like Mondays a lot. 

And as I was nearing the end of my mission my companion and I realized that my Mondays were about to change (which is silly, because so much more than that changes :) and the number of Mondays I would really be able to enjoy were becoming fewer and fewer. . . 

Except I happened to get a job that gives me Mondays off :) 

Like a post-mission-p-day. 

I love it.

So this is what I did this post-mission-p-day:

We found a giant beehive!! I have never seen one open before. . . 

but apparently that's what wild beehives are like.
I just assumed they'd be like wasp nests and have a papery covering. . . 

This is a baby saguaro cactus 

I ran into one of these cacti THREE TIMES on this hike. I'm just not used to the flora fighting back. . . and I guess I don't keep my hands within the trail at all times :) 

I guess I like Arizona.

(when it's 80 degrees and everything's flowering :)
