NEW Address & Pictures

New Address for Elder Andrew Baker:

2714 N Izabel St. #3, Flagstaff, AZ 86004

This will be his address at least until the middle of August. If he gets transferred, I will post his new address.



This is a picture of Elder Andrew Baker and his first mission president, Pres. and Sister Batt (from Idaho).  

Since Andrew is in the Arizona Phoenix Mission he has a new mission president (Pres. Taylor).  Andrew said that he really going to miss the Batts. He just loved them both.

 (I think).


Looks like a beautiful Mt. Humphreys sunset in Arizona. 

The following is part of Andrew's email.

"Things are going pretty well here too. The weather is great in Flagstaff. It's monsoon season, so it stays pretty cool, and rains a lot. There have been two days so far where it's rained so much that the streets have flooded! It's crazy!

The work here is picking up. I got a new companion. His name is Elder Nield, from Oregon. He's a good worker. I'm glad I have him here. We're going to do a lot of good work. We are working with the ward a lot more. That helps out a lot. In the Phoenix mission, we aren't really allowed to tract. Wheewwwwwww! We do things a little differently, but hey, it seems to be working pretty well. What we do is we pick some members to visit. Then we say a prayer with them. After the prayer, we ask if they know anybody else we can pray with... they usually give us some less-actives, or even some non-members, and BOOM. Referral. It works pretty well so far. I like it."

Elder Andrew Baker is now in the Arizona Phoenix Mission

Hi Everyone,

Please DO NOT SEND MAIL to the 
New Mexico Farmington Mission address anymore.


As of 1 July 2013 Andrew's mission has been divided and he is now serving in the Arizona Phoenix Mission

I don't have Andrew's address yet, but I will post it as soon as I get it.  

Andrew is still serving in Flagstaff Arizona and is a Zone Leader there.  He says that the people are great and they remind of the people in Missoula.  Kind of layed back and easy going.  The weather is usually in the 80's in the summer and the scenery is beautiful.

He has had some experiences with bed bugs (not his bed) and didn't know that they were real.  So the saying "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite" rings true to him now. Yuck!!  He is just grateful that the bugs weren't in his apartment or his bed. Haha!

In Flagstaff there is a University and so there are some Sorority houses too.  He knocked on the door of this one house and it was answered by some barely dressed females.  He said he had to keep eye contact while telling them that they were there to teach about Jesus.  The girls said they weren't interested (he was relieved), he and his companion left and that is when they noticed that there were a lot of girls dressed in bikinis playing volleyball outside.  Pretty funny.  Andrew's dad told him that when he was serving on his mission his mission president told the Elders to sing a hymn when in those situations.  I think Andrew was singing some hymns that day.
