Elder Field Is Staying Another Transfer!

Hey family!

We found out transfer information! (it does not feel like I have been here for a transfer) I will be staying in Rincon Valley ward with Elder Ricks. So hopefully we can just continue where we are at and find some people haha!!

So, I don’t have a lot of things to report on this week unfortunately, I really don't have any more fun or exciting stories. (HOLY CRAP WHILE I'M TYPING THIS WE GOT A REFERRAL FOR SOMEONE! WE GOT AN EMAIL WITH THEIR NUMBER AND ADDRESS! WOOOOOOOO) but yea so hopefully I have more to report next week but I will try my best to squeeze out something fun or interesting to read ;)

We went to the temple! Oh, it was so awesome! I love it so much! I will send photos! The spirit of the temple is the coolest.

Any who, this week again was more finding! Woot. Didn't find much success, BUT we had a lesson with Sena, it was...... an alright lesson. I'm not sure how interested she is but brother Powell is determined. So hopefully as we teach her she will become more and more interested. We taught her all about the Book of Mormon because that's where she actually had questions. So, we explained the story and the purpose of it. She seemed slightly interested and said she would read the book of Mormon Introduction by the next time we come over. Which will be this Sunday at 10 so hopefully that goes well.... It was kind of a hectic lesson, she has like 3 little kids. And they were quite loud. I tried my hardest to get them involved but they were not having a big white dude trying to show them pictures. But oh well I’m hoping she will start to show more interest. Pray for Sena :)

Also, this week we were able to see Denise Alvear. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to meet with us but she sat on her porch and talked with us for 30 mins. She was working on her yard with her kids. So, she couldn't spend too much time. Anyway, we got to know her really quick and she is super cool! She has 3 - 4 kids I'm not quite sure, but her husband is a police officer. She does real estate and is just interested in learning more. So, I'm pumped about that. Hopefully we can meet with her and her family. She felt pretty bad about missing our visit. So, we are planning for this Thursday. :)

I just got thinking, and we did have a pretty cool experience. We had the experience to go to an addiction recovery center to meet a member who wanted to meet with the missionaries. And the entire time we were there you could just FEEL Christ’s presence there. You can feel him working. Trying to help these people become better. A lot of them are also trying to find God. We aren't allowed to try and talk to people unless we are invited but it was just such a cool feeling. A different member works there and apparently after we left, a bunch of people went up to brother Wood and told him how cool and nice we were. Hopefully they will invite us back :) but it was just such a cool spirit.

Anyway, that's it for this week! I hope you all have a wonderful week! I love you all so much! And remember the atonement is for everyone, it is as much intimate as much as it is infinite, Christ truly does know you and wants to help you. The atonement reaches to everyone, no matter how far you fall Christ light will always reach you. I love the book of Mormon. Like a lot. It's kind of a problem that's not a problem haha. It's true. It's the word of God. And there is so much stuff we can learn from them. Take some time and study. Listen to what God is trying to say to you. Because he's a talkin' sometimes we don't take the time to listen. I love you guys! Good luck!
