Yes, Elder Field has an RC Helicopter. and it's freaking
awesome! I will explain how I got that here soon!
Anyway, I hope all of your weeks were awesome! Mine was! We
saw some pretty cool things happen investigator wise! I am really loving it here
in Vacaville. Then again have I ever really hated any of my areas? No, no I
haven't, I have been extremely blessed with the places I have served. I also
have been blessed with the love it takes to love serving in some difficult
places haha. We came into this area with very little people that we were
teaching. We had 1 family in total when I came in. Elder Harris and I have put
in some work. Let me tell you. We have been working hard and it's been a blast.
We have gone from 1 family of 3 to 2 families of 4, the family of 3 I was
telling you about, and 4 individuals we are teaching :D It's been so cool. We
have really seen our area pick up. We have really been blessed. I have really
gained a testimony of hard work. If you work hard you will be happy and you
will be blessed. It's that easy. At least when it comes to the gospel it works.
hahaha I’m still not sure about the application outside of the mission. ;)
Anywho, let's dive into my week!
So, we taught Jon this last week. For those who don't recall
who he was (or If you’re just tuning into to my life as a missionary, you know
who you are ;) ) He was the investigator that we picked up last Sunday when we
got a call in the middle of church saying he wants to come. We had 2 lessons
with him this past week actually. We taught him the restoration in the first
one and the plan of salvation in the second one. He really loves it and even
said he believes it all up to this point. He is reading the Book of Mormon and
is just so freaking cool. He even came to church on Sunday!!!! WOOOO! We
actually had a lot of people show up to church. We had Jon, 2 of the Busbys
(the family of 3 we are teaching) and a new investigator we picked up named
Michael.
We also had a lesson with the Busbys. We talked all about
Jesus Christ. They didn't have a belief but we taught all about the need for a
redeemer and also just the way we can receive strength through the savior. It
was a super good lesson that had them all thinking so hopefully our follow up
lesson will be good. :)
We had a lesson with the Grindle family as well on the
gospel of Jesus Christ. I wasn't there due to exchanges but I heard it went
really well. I went on exchanges with elder Anderson one of the district
leaders in the zone it was a good exchange. For the most part haha. Any who
that's a topic for a different day ;)
Anyway, we also picked up a new investigator named Jennifer.
We met her last week she was on the balcony and we were below and we Called up
to her saying "hey! Have you talked to missionaries before?" she said
no and then said we could stop by, we'll we did and had a really awesome lesson
on the book of Mormon. It was super good. She said she and her fiancé are
looking for a church to go to! So hopefully we can keep teaching her!
Anyway, life is good I'm doing great and the work is
progressing! I love you all and I will talk to yall, next week.
**And since Elder Field never explained the RC Helicopter, his Dad emailed him back and this was his response:
Oh right...... Haha so I did a
service and the guy brought out this huge RC Helicopter and said he didn't want
it. So, I said I would take it. And he gave it to me for free hahaha so I was
super pumped! So I have been playing with it all p-day.
