Elder Field Catches The Crescent City Cruds.....EWW!

To explain the subject line. They are also called the Humboldt county cruds, basically you feel fine, but you have a persistent cough for like 3 weeks. It's from living on the coast and all the spores that come off the trees and stuff. Haha. I feel great, but I feel like I have moss growing in my lungs hahaha it's a sensation I can't quite explain ;) got to love Eureka.

Boy this week was a busy one. Just seems like in a YSA branch there is always stuff to do. Plus, this week is zone conference, so we have been preparing for that. We did exchanges up in crescent city this week as well haha. Which is the most northern part of the mission :) that was an awesome experience. (I'm going to apologize now if the email is lame we have so much stuff to do today so I'm writing this as fast as I can with the limited time I have. So just know I love you all haha I need to stop packing my p-days full of stuff)

Tuesday was a day full of finding. We had an awesome district meeting where we updated our #BeTheLight game board. It's getting pretty competitive up here in the Eureka zone haha. We have rivalries forming and just overall, I think everyone is having a good time which is always nice. But that was Tuesday, just tried to find people to teach. Found a couple of less actives who had moved away.

Wednesday, we went up to crescent city where we did exchanges with the elders up there. It was so awesome! Those elders up there are so solid. We did some great work up there. The entire day we were teaching people. Crescent City is awesome. And it's just beautiful up there! Right on the coast. Beautiful.

Thursday, we got back from Crescent City and we had a lesson with Diana! Our awesome investigator! She is doing so awesome. We taught her all about plan of Salvation and she loved it. She made the comment, she said she was shocked about how much we knew about the afterlife. We told her that because God loves us and because we have modern day prophets, God has revealed it all to us. She loved that answer. We had to push her baptismal date back to the 27th of January because she is going to be gone for a month. But she still really wants to be baptized. So, she will be back in early January. :) she leaves the 17th. So, pray she will stick with this all even when she gets home for the holidays.

Friday, we did planning which was fun. And Saturday we just planned our zone conference and tried to see some people.

It was a good week. Again, sorry for the lame email but know I love you all and I freaking love the Christmas season ;) go reflect on what the Savior has done for you it’s pretty amazing. I know Jesus Christ was the son of God and I know he knows and loves each one of us. It's hard to believe someone thought I was worth dying for. I will never fully comprehend that. But all I know is I am so grateful for that sacrifice. I love you all! Have an awesome week!
