Elder Field Finds Out Transfer Docs! And Gave Hot Chocolate To The Homeless People. That Was Interesting.....

Transfers!! Man I can't believe it's that time already..... Good heavens. This means all the Sisters Elder Field came out with are finishing their missions tomorrow...... Man...... Last 6 months. Here we go!! Ima make the most out of it. :) God watch over me in my going crazy hard these next few months ;) don't worry I will stay safe. I'm getting a new companion! His name is Elder Serassio, he is dope! Elder Seegmiller and myself served around him in Santa Rosa and I got to be pretty good friends. I will be with him for 7 weeks. This transfer is a week longer due to the fact that this one was only 5 weeks. I'm excited to keep being a YSA missionary. Even if it’s winter break and all the YSA from campus have run away to their home states and town hahaha we won't even be holding YSA services until the new year. Should be fun! Gonna knock all the doors looking for lonely YSA who didn't go home I guess!

Anyway, this week was a good week. Crazy busy though. We had an awesome hike last p-day we went to Fern Canyon. My gosh. It its beautiful. Really wet hike because you’re basically hiking through a river, but it's so much fun. Destroyed my tennis shoes. (sorry mom) Went to dry them on the heater and melted them haha whoops who knew the heater got so hot! But the p-day last week was awesome!

We had lessons with Diana and Lexee this week. Wasn't able to be at Diana’s due to the fact that we did 2 exchanges this week. One with the Arcata elders and one with the Eureka 1st. It was crazy busy trying to fit everything into a 5 week transfer. Who knew that extra week was so important. I'm getting off track though. Back to Diana. The lesson (I was told) went awesome! They taught her the doctrine of Christ and she loved it. She is still so pumped to get baptized. She came to a baptism last week and loved it and couldn't wait. But she will be gone until mid-January for the winter break, so we will be doing Skype lessons with her while she is home in LA. Pray that her parents will take it well that she is going to join the church. She is so solid.

Lexee's lesson went alright haha. It was Mainly just a check in to see how she was doing. We really couldn't teach anything because she kept going on tangents about government and local issues and just kinda all over the place with everything. She is also leaving until mid-January, but she said we will pick up then and she said she will read the Book of Mormon.

The Lord has been so merciful unto the Eureka zone. We got 6 baptisms this month so far. I'm so grateful for the Lord’s mercies and his love towards his children. I'm also so proud of the missionaries up here. They are such awesome hardworking missionaries. So sad that a lot of them will be being transferred. Hopefully we can keep this work up and keep making our maker proud. God is good isn't he :) I actually got to confirm one of the girls who was baptized. That was an experience I will never forget. It was the first time I was given the opportunity to. Ultimately, I'm super happy if someone is baptized it doesn't have to be in my area I'm just so thankful that the Lord blesses me with experience of just being there. But this one was especially cool. We were at her baptism. Her name is Stephanie. She is super cool. We see her all the time because 1) she is technically YSA but the Sisters taught her and baptized her into their ward. 2) we work really closely to the Sisters in the McKinleyville ward. So, we see Stephanie a lot. She is super cool. At her baptism we were talking, and she just randomly asked, "Will you confirm me?" I probably looked like an idiot because I was shocked haha. But it was a really cool experience I will remember for the rest of my life.

(well there was more after this but my tablet deleted it..... So ooooo..... Yeah

.... Life sucks. It's okay let me give you the watered-down version)

Okay. We had a finding event. Gave hot chocolate to homeless people. It was supposed to be for everyone, but we only attracted homeless people. Well I'm happy for them, and it made their days. So good stuff.

God is so good. Life is awesome. The mission is difficult but so rewarding. I love it. I'm going to work so freaking hard this last 6 months. Here we go! Love you all! Have an awesome week!
