I'm having a great time in Tucson AZ, currently serving in the Nogales area. It's not too hot and has been raining a bit. There are lots of people to teach and lots of Spanish to be spoken! I'm 2 months into my mission and I've seen 1 tarantula and 1 rattlesnake so far. :D

Hello Homestead Ward,
We're not sure where to begin, there is so much going on here in Tucson.
We have been assigned to the LaPresido Ward. Which is the magnet ward for all the African Refuges in Tucson to attend.
This has been an amazing experience for us. These people are so hungry for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Some families have only been here for 2 years. Before that they were in Refugee Camps.
They are mostly from Rowanda and the Congo.
But oh how we love them. The Elders and Sisters are seeking and finding these people.
We now have started a Kinyarwanda Sacrament Meeting twice a month. We are hoping to get more Priesthood holders and form a branch.
Just 2 weeks ago Salt Lake sent us the first Kinyarwanda Book of Mormons!!! You should have seen their faces. Over the top with joy!! And just today we got the first Swahilli song books!!
We also get to teach Primary!
We are also helping at the mission office. Meals for departing and arriving missionaries. We have 8 beds upstairs where they stay for the first night. Transfers, we are placing missionaries though out the mission.
We're trying to learn Kinyarwanda but....that's not going very well!
Love, Elder and Sister Probst
