Elder Field Turns 20!! And Freaking Christmas Calls!!

Hey friends!!! 

This week was loooooong just because this week was busy and I feel like I didn’t stop moving.

So as you may know this week was my birthday! I turned 20! Freaking weird right?? Elder Field no longer has the word teen in his name! Woot Woot hahaha. I had a wonderful birthday! The district threw me a little surprise party that I totally caught on to when someone said they wanted to go eat in a particular room of the church hahaha. They threw me a little surprise lunch and bought me a bunch of little gag gifts from ghetto dollar store hahaha I loved them all!!! My district is so awesome. We are like a little family out here hahah it's awesome. A really big and dysfunctional family!.......pretty much like my family back home ;) I'm kidding!!! I’m kidding!!! I love my family!!! 

Speaking of which I totally got to call home this week!!! Best Christmas present ever!! I got to see all my family and my aunt Annie and Grandma!!! I even got a see my lovely friend Dani who is on a mission!! Woot!! Shout out to her for just being plain awesome! It was an awesome time. I can't believe how big my siblings have gotten. I have only been out for 6 and a half months and Parker is way taller than my mom, and his voice is so freaking deep Carson is getting tall, Alivia is getting tall hahaha and my little sister Danika...... well she is about the same height ;) Love ya Danika. But she has a boyfriend..... don’t even get me started on that.

Anyway Christmas was awesome this year. We had a member who showed us a movie called "The Nativity" (yes we got permission from our mission president hahaha) which was really good. And had a wonderful dinner with the Johnsons where we played some games and ate really freaking good street tacos..... Oh man it was so good hahaha!!! They even gave us and the sister a present hahah. They gave us each a nerf gun hahaha!!! We are planning on having a war today :) I'm pumped hahaha but this Christmas was a special one. I mean away from the family, didn't have any super big parties to go to. And I was kind of down in the dumps. So I really had to focus on the Savior this year. It was really nice :) he really gave me the strength to keep going through this Christmas season :) the spirit of Christ is strong this time of year. I love it :) so good!! 

We had a missionary Christmas party which was awesome. Me and Hermana Foster sang in it though hahaha. We sang Who Would Send a Baby. I have video of it, but it's too big to send over email. But the song went really well :) Hermana Foster carried the song though haha.  But anyway the party was a lot of fun. We got to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas hahah that was awesome!! I forgot how much I love that movie. But yeah it was just so lot of fun

Unfortunately, with this week being Christmas and what not it was hard to go see people/investigators we tried our hardest to go see people, find people and just really didn't have much success :( but we worked as hard as we could for the Christmas season. We did however get 2 referrals from a member!!! So we are going to go contact those on Tuesday :) I got a good feeling about them!

Thank you all again for your birthday wishes and Merry Christmases!! Have an awesome week!! I love you all!!!! Merry CHRISTmas!!!
