Elder Field Is Proud To Be An American

Elder Field is proud to be an American
Where at least he knows he’s free
And he won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to him

So, he will proudly stand up
Next to you and defend her still today
Cause there ain't no doubt he loves this land
God bless the USA!!

Woah sorry about that...... I just started to type is proud to be and American and suddenly my American took over and typed out the entire song chorus...... but I think I'm back to normal hopefully. ;)

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! I really love this country! a lot. And it's cool that the Book of Mormon predicted the colonization of America, so freaking cool. Go read 1 Nephi 13 and you will see what I mean. So cool!

Guys..... I cannot believe it has been another transfer already.... this week is the last week of the transfer and that means transfer docs comes out this Saturday. And you know what that means! That’s right! My life is going to get really crazy here again. Haha no rest for the wicked am I right? errrrr Righteous? Idk the scriptures tell me one way and Cage the Elephant tells me another. ;)

This week was pretty much filled with the same stuff as last week. We finished up the last 3 zone conferences. Saw all my mission friends who finish their missions this transfer (or as we missionaries say DIE) give their departing testimonies which made me really sad. I have made some really close friends while on the mission. It's really cool. I'm excited to see who I stay in contact with. I have a few that I know I will stay in contact with so I'm not too worried haha. :D Elder Jones my previous companion dies this transfer as does Hermana Foster and sister Jeffrey if any of you remember those names. I have mentioned them in previous emails haha :D made me sad but that's just the life of a missionary. Oh well! 

We actually didn't have any lessons this week D: which is really sad. We did do a bunch of finding on the days we had time but we weren't too successful. But hopefully this week we get back into the swing of things not that zone conferences are over. We are going to meet with Morgan, Brother Rowland, Gabriel, and hopefully a new investigator we were referred to. We will see how that works out! Wish us luck!

Funny story of this week. Elder Reese and I were driving to go grab some dinner one night, and I asked him a simple question. I'm sure I have most likely asked all of you this question.....

"Elder Reese, where would you go in a zombie apocalypse?"

his response killed me

"Costco, there is plenty of food and guns and ammo and the zombies wouldn't be able to get in without a Costco membership card."

Needless to say, I was giggling so hard I had to pull the car over.

Anyway, sorry this is such a short email I'm not really sure what else to email about. not too eventful. we put out some tech fires I guess. I learned how to use a sound board in less than 5 mins? President played volleyball with me and some others last p-day? President made fun of me a lot over the course of zone conferences....... Well..... he does that all the time ;) I have a very strange relationship with my mission president. We are constantly making fun of each other in front of everyone. (Don't worry president and I have discussed our little battle of wits and we seem to be on the same page) and the best part is his wife gets in on it too. Usually Sister Wrights teasing isn’t directed at me but at President. But occasionally she will throw a jab at me haha. Sister Wright is my deep doctrine friend. If I have a question about the gospel she always has the answer it's amazing. Haha I have the coolest mission president/mission mom in the world. Nobody can beat them!

Anyway, that's all for this week! sorry I don't have much to report on. This week we have a lot of finding planned so hopefully I can find some good stories to report to you guys next week! Love you all! Happy 4th!!!! Launch a Ground Bloom into the neighbor’s yard for me! ;) ;) ;) Yes, that happened one year. 4th of July at the Field's is a party.

Love you guys!
