Welcome to Feilding Ward!

I am happy to announce that I am in a ward again!  You know what that means?  MEMBERS!  Good, faithful members that help missionary work!  It is because of our members, and all of their help and everything they do that we have 12 investigators that are progressing and 4 baptismal dates that are set and that we are working for!  We are going to set a lot more this week too!  Our week is really full trying to meet with all of these 12 investigators, plus the meetings we have, plus the service we are doing for people, and we still must try to talk to 150 people a week!  This is why I have no time for writing letters or anything these days.  The time is flying by, it seems like I was just here emailing you.  I love this area!

This is Feilding!  That was the highest hill we could find last Monday.  This is a flat and windy place.  I like to call it "Friendly Feilding".   I can't believe that Mary got a blender for her birthday.  You wouldn't believe it, but I have been going to the thrift store here to look for one for the flat here.  We have a lemon tree and someone showed me how to make some fast and easy lemonade.  

Yes, I have got your letters that you have sent to the flat so you have the right address.  I also got a package from the singles ward.  It was really cool!  I don't have as much time here to write back to people.  I just don't have time like I had in my last area.  I am really loving my calling too!  I am lucky to have an amazingly obedient district (at least that I know of).  We need to be reminded over and over of the blessings that come from being obedient.
 

This is me and my companion.  He has only been out for 7 weeks.  He is basically running this area while I am still trying to learn all of our investigators names!  This is the biggest flat that I have been in.  You can see the kitchen in the background, and we have a garage, and 2 bedrooms.  Our laundry room is in a room outside.  Being larger means that there is more to clean with our busy schedule.

I am so grateful for all of this work that I get to be a part of.  This week I got so tired that I started to fall asleep in a lesson.  This is some hard work, and so much different from my last area where we were begging people to listen to our message.  The field is white here and over grown and I am loving it!  

I love you!
