Update from the mission president regarding the fires in
Santa Rosa (Devin is much farther north and has not been affected):
Thank you for your
prayers! All missionaries affected by the fires in Northern CA are accounted
for and safe. Those at risk have been evacuated and have a warm safe place to
sleep. The Mission home and office are both untouched by the fire at this time.
We will keep you updated.
Dear family,
This week was awesome
pday was the last pday for this transfer it was good to see everyone and say
goodbye to the ones that are leaving including me haha. I was with elder Taylor
for the day because my comp went with an elder to go to Santa Rosa. So it was
super fun with elder Taylor.
Tuesday was transfers we
left Davis at 8 am and we got to Santa Rosa and we switched luggage and said hi
to a lot of missionaries which was sweet to see them, then we took off up to
eureka I rode with elder dye a sweet elder that just came out so that was
sweet, I drove and we stopped at IHOP with some other missionaries on the way
up and we stopped by a couple places on the way up cause it was a 4 hour drive
which I love because it's so amazingly beautiful up here, we stopped by some
sweet shops through the redwoods so that was awesome! We go up there and we
waited for our companions in Fortuna for an hour so we went around walking
through the streets for a little but enjoying the northern air again, I love it
up here is amazing. But after we got into our HOUSE we live in a HOUSE! It's
amazing! It's so nice and we love right by members that owns the house and
their are 2 huskies in the backyard that we have, there names are Aspen and
Mystic. So tell Aspen I found her in dog form here 😜 they are the best dogs. We get to take them out on walks and
care for them.
On Wednesday we had
service at a banquet food place so we basically run it so that's awesome, the
rest of the day we went and visited a couple people and to meet some people, as
you know my comp is elder Hathaway he is awesome, he is from Morgan Utah. And
he has a relatively big family a couple older siblings and younger as well.
Thursday we were going
to have a service but the service canceled so we just went and visited some
members and a couple potentials.
Friday was weekly
planning so that was cool.
Saturday we had district
meeting which was super fun elder Hathaway made peanut butter bars which were
very good. They decided to send sister up here there was only sisters up here
in eureka but they sent 2 sets up here which is pretty cool I guess haha. After
we went and helped someone with moving and then we went finding. Played with
the dogs too.
Sunday was church back
to small ward of about 100 people, the ward is cool lots of awesome people. Bad
news our mission is kinda on fire Santa Rosa is on fire and everywhere down
there, everyone is getting evacuated its insane and scary, But that was my
week. Love you guys!
