Elder Field Puts One Foot In Front of the Other....

Hey fam! If any of y'all can name what my subject line is from, I would love you forever :) 

Man, another week has passed huh? Man this week felt pretty short, but the days were so freaking long! Anyway! 

This week was pretty busy, we still are trying to get to know everyone and we still are trying to find investigators. So we are really imploring the ward to help us out. Honestly guys our job is only possible if we work with the members, especially. There was a quote from Bednar that says "Missionaries are full time teachers, we as members are the full time finders" to be 100% honest I didn't know that haha I actually felt pretty bad because I did NO finding when I was home. Then again all my friends were Mormon so......  But any who, I didn't think that was true until I realized how much more success we would have if we have the help of the members! 

Anyway, this week was good just busy, we somewhat have a direction, but we had a little hick up with our only investigator. He is pretty much at a standstill and isn't progressing any more. He confided in us some of his problems, but the thing is he doesn’t think what he is doing is wrong so.....  Until he feels that he is wrong, he won't he progressing for a while, so we are down to 0 investigators hahaha and the priests from the ward what to go on splits with us.... Which is hard because we don't have anyone to teach....  Sooooooooo time to do some finding haha! 

We had wonderful district meeting this week. It went super well. Everyone was active in the conversation and gave some awesome insights on everything. It went very well and the people who taught did awesome! I was so happy. I was worried about the new district to be honest. But all is well. It will be a good transfer.

We did a lot of finding this week, we knocked doors, we walked in the park, we looked for referrals from members we did our best and unfortunately came up short. But we will keep trying! 

We actually had a couple of lessons with less actives and active members so we could actually get to know the ward. Met some really awesome families actually! It's so nice to have a ton of youth. They are awesome and really make the ward fun! 

Anyway this email was pretty short, but I'm out of things to say haha wasn’t to eventful. But it was good still just trying to get going. Anyway I love you all and I wish you all the best

Love ya!
