1st Week in the Field: January 11

Hey family!!

This week has been crazy!! A lot of crazy stuff has happened haha. On Tuesday we arrived in Oakland Cali and the. We met our stake [mission?] president and he is the best! The nicest man I have ever met. He is so awesome.

We then drove to a church and then we met all of our companions. And my companion is named Elder Taylor. He is pretty awesome. He is pretty much like me, just a more little outgoing. [Additional companion info from later email: My companion is from Canada and he loves ice hockey and girls haha he is awesome. He goes home next month though which stinks cause I have to get a new trainer. But that's cool too haha.After that we went to the mission home and ate food and said goodbye to are companions and then we drove to our apartment in Ukiah!!! That's where I am serving right now... Its super geto haha there is a lot of crazies here. And guess what! I live in a pink house! It's called the pink palace. It's pretty sweet. [I will send more pictures of inside too haha.] 



So the first full day I was there we visited a couple people...But that night we had to meet with this lady who says her friends husband was possessed and she performed and exorcist using this weird oil.. And she said it was the easiest one she has ever performed.. So.. That was kind of freaky.. So we met with the bishop and told her that the church doesn't do that unless we have to. Soo I guess this kind of stuff happens a lot here haha. 

But through the whole week we met with rose and Michael young.. And they are getting baptized! They are the sweetest family. The baptism is on Friday. We had over 20 lessons this week.. I don't remember all of them.. We met with this family we love.. The Gomez family the mom is a member but all her kids are not.. So we are going to teach all of them.. The youngest who is 8 wants to be baptized. So that's awesome!! Her name is varsity. We also have this couple who is really awesome the guy is a member but the girlfriend is not so we are trying to teach her they are our favorite haha. We play a lot of board games with them every Saturday night 

The ward here is pretty cool. We visit a lot of in active members. And we have a ton of investigators. We do a ton of service haha we feed the homeless on Thursdays and we work and the food bank on Wednesdays and we walk these amazing cute dogs on Fridays. At the humanitarian center.. And we get to play with all the Animals. It's awesome haha.

Sorry I am kind of all over the place haha.. But we should have 3 baptisms coming up!! Any questions? Love you!!
