Assistant President......Assistant to the President




Well, turns out everyone was right....I am getting transferred to Scottsdale. I've actually already been down there for three days. Luckily President let me come back up here for the weekend for Sister Leary's baptism. I'm super bummed to leave Snowflake. It has been incredible here.


Sister Leary's baptism was awesome. The spirit was way strong and she looked so happy. It's been a lot of fun workin with them and seeing the progress that she has made.


There's a lot of people in Snowflake that I'm gonna miss very much.


With my new assignment my letters probably won't be as consistent and maybe not as frequent. My new companion is Elder Diaz and I'm really excited about that. He's an incredible missionary. Nine months ago he came on exchanges with me and Elder Keir in Superstition Zone and ever since then I've wanted to be companions with him. Now I get the chance. Being in a trio for a few days with him and Elder Woolf was a blast. It was like a spiritual party every day. Friday morning we taught seminary class and did some way fun things with Abinadi and King Noah.


This is a bittersweet transfer for me. I'm excited for the things that are ahead for me and I know there's a lot more good to come, but I don't know if anywhere could be better than this place. I only got to be here for 4 months. Elder Stewart is replacing me. He was my roomate in the MTC. So both of us will most likely finish our missions in these areas. I'm gonna push for my last 6 weeks to be in downtown Phoenix on bike. That is my dream. Other than Snowflake.


I appreciate everyones love and support and I'm grateful to everyone that has helped me get to where I am in my life right now. Especially my family.


I hope all ya'll have a great week.


Love, Elder Coffman

never want to leave.......







Snowflake is still the Celestial Kingdom on earth.
Sean's baptism was fantastic. The Romero family came and they came to church on Sunday. That was amazing.
We had some wonderful experiences with Elder Diaz on exchanges Monday. He's an incredible missionary. We wer able to set a baptism date with Sister Leary for the 13th of November and then later that night we set a date with Frank for the 14th. It was an amazing day. Wonderful things continue to happen here. I love Snowflake and never want to leave.
