This week has been really good, we've definitely seen some miracles! But
I've also received some... disappointing... news. I got news this week
that I'm leaving Napa this week and I'm going to Fairfield. It's sad
to be leaving Napa right at the time where it seems like everything is
happening, but it seems like that's oftentimes how it goes. All I know
is that there's some reason The Lord has called me to Fairfield. But I
will miss it here in Napa with Elder Merrell. It's been a great 6
weeks with him.
We had one miracle in particular that we're super excited about. There
is a family that moved from near Bakersfield who had been meeting with
the missionaries there, the parents are Adan and Vanessa and they have
a 18 month old son. They have been meeting with missionaries in
Bakersfield for about 4 or 5 months now and have been going to
Sacrament Meeting for a month or so. Adan already refers to himself as
"mormon" and has a testimony of many of the principles already. And
his wife is not far behind that point at all. It was miraculous
because they were driving around and saw Elder Brazelton and Elder
Overson and drove up and stopped to talk to them, and gave them their
address and everything. Then when we went by to see them we figured
out that they had actually gone to a session of General Conference the
week before! Then they were able to come to Sacrament Meeting this
Sunday as well!!
Sorry I don't have as much time to write this week, but I love y'all
and hope y'all take care this week! Write y'all from Fairfield, CA
next week!
