Hey friends and family,
I hope you like the subject line ;) I was talking with a few
missionaries one day after district meeting and one of them said that and now I
haven't been able to look at crabs quite the same..... Haha anyhow
My week was really awesome this week! We saw a lot of really
cool things happen! We found some new investigators, my companion and myself
are just having a ton of fun. And life is just good, extremely stressful but
good :) Let's dive into the week, shall we?
This week we had a few lessons we didn't have one with the
Grindle or the Busby family, due to their schedules being crazy, but we were
able to go visit with the Grindle family just to see how they were doing. We
didn't teach a lesson but we got to know them a little better which was
nice.
So, because of that we did a lot of finding this week. We
contacted a bunch of people, we knocked a bunch of doors I got really freaking
sun burned. But it's all good I kinda enjoy people looking at me and saying
"boy, you caught some sun" and I look at them and say "yeah,
been out working in the sun all day" and I just sport it like a badge of
honor, even though my collar rubs up against it. Yeouch! But it's all good!
Blessings on blessings
We picked up a new investigating family. The family
relationships are a little confusing because there are 5 generations living in
the same house..... The house belongs to Linda and Paul Watson. They have 2
daughters. 1 lives with them, and the one that lives with them has a little
girl. Then Linda's mom lives with them, and Linda's grandma lives with them....
It's nuts..... But it was a referral from a member who is friends with Linda’s
daughter. So, we went over with her and gave the Linda's granddaughter (you
following?) ;) a blessing. This little girl is 3 but she has had a bunch of
surgery on her hips. I'm not sure what's wrong but she is about to go back into
surgery again. It was a super spiritual experience. It is in the top 10 most
spiritual experiences while I have been on my mission. It was soooooo
good.
(So Elder Field wrote another half of an email but when he
went to send it.... Didn't send, sent this email to his drafts and deleted half
of the email..... And I didn't know till mama Field contacted me wondering
where my email was.... Such a good mom :) So, here is a condensed version)
We picked up a new investigator who wants to be baptized!
Woo! Hard work pays off. It was a call we got in the middle of church, his name
is Jon, pray for him!
Zone leading is still an interesting new experience. I think
I'm getting the hang of it.
The zone is doing good. We came up with some awesome ideas
to work with the stake better. Which is super cool. I will explain some other
time.
Life is good, just really stressful all the time.
Anyway, sorry for the shorted email. Love you all!
God is real and he knows you! Personally. And he loves you
for who you are.
L8r gator!
