Hey family!
So I will start with the important
news. I am being transferred. My new area is Vacaville down by napa and
Fairfield. My new companion is elder Davis my MTC companion, so we will see how
this goes. We are whitewashing the area, so send me your prayers I am gonna
need them ;) I will send my address as soon as possible (note from Shauna: his
new address is below). This week was good, the last week of the transfer its
crazy haha. Time flies, But I will go to my week.
So on Monday we had pday, it was
good cause the whole zone was together and we played ball cause it was elder
adamson last pday cause he is going home so that's sad, but it's good. After
that we had a lesson with the Owens finally we got to meet with them and we had
dinner and then we finished the plan of salvation which them they are moving a
long I am super sad that I am not going to be able to see them baptized.
Tuesday we had zone meeting it was
really good we talked about a lot, a lot was on baptism and how important it is
and that we need to know it in the heart and after on doing our best and trying
our very best. After that we went to round table pizza and had the buffet haha,
of course. After that we had finding and then that night we went and we blessed
our investigators house cause she was having bad experiences there.
Wednesday was good we went to blue
lakes and visited sister warvi and brother freiday it was good to see them, we
went finding after that and that night we went and met with out investigator
Diana and we had a really good lesson with her and we set a baptism date with
her !!! For the last day of the month.. but I won't be here for it 😢☹️️ it's okay, I
am happy for her. We had a awesome lesson with her, she is super ready for
making the next step. Super happy for that.
Thursday we worked a little in
Arcata and drove up to willow creek we had to be careful because it was
snowing!! And the roads were crazy on the drive up there. We got to willowcreek
and we saw 2 less actives and that was good, we went and bought a sister
some food from rays at was awesome haha. But after that we went and had an
early dinner with the kimballs and we had some super good Mexican food. And
took a Christmas photo that was awesome haha. I will miss that family a lot.
Friday we had weekly planning and
then that night we had the Christmas party! We had tri tip steak and potatoes
and a ton of other food which was amazing met a lot of people had a good time
with everyone in the ward, it gets harder and harder to leave an area cause you
meet so many amazing people that you come to love and build relationships with
and it's super sad that you gotta leave.
Saturday was good we did some
finding around our apartment and then that night we went to the community
orchestra it was super cool they did a bunch of Christmas songs and we talked
to a lot of people after it was really amazing. Handed out a ton of cards and
some other stuff too.
Sunday was church was sad to leave
everyone i will miss the beauty of Arcata and eureka I am super blessed to be
able to serve up here some missionaries don't get to serve up here at all. I
will definitely miss it. They asked me to give my testimony at the end of
sacrament and that was good, I taught gospel principles that was pretty good we
talked about the fall of Adam and Eve and we continued with lesson seven the
Holy Ghost it was really good, the spirit was there. I said goodbye to brother
freiday after and he cried which was sad. But I will miss that old guy, after
we went too elders and then we had a lesson with Diana after that which was
really good i also said goodbye to everyone else. And after that we went to
dinner down in freshwater with a huge family with 8 kids insane haha. But yeah
that was my week.
I will be in my new area on
Tuesday. Hope everything is well back home I love you guys!! Yes there was
earthquakes no that big but cool.
