WEEK 93

Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, readers of all ages: My time in the beautiful county of Humboldt has come to a stop in regards to this journey. It is a time of mixed emotions as always. I am sad 'cause after much labor we were beginning to see a lot of great things happen. However, I know that my work there for the time being is done and I know that Elders Stevens & Tubbs will continue to do great things there. I have not experienced a town like Humboldt and it's definitely one that many should come, see, and do their part to help the people there. I'm certain I will return there in the foreseeable future.

My current (and possibly final) assignment/adventure has taken me to Vallejo. I am back to working on my Spanish and I am companions with Elder Brough--I served around him in Fairfield. This e-mail is a bit late and short, because yesterday was a day like no other. We left from Eureka to Santa Rosa at 8 AM. During the drive the car began making an unusual noise. The driver and co-driver got out and checked it a couple times, tried a few things, and we were back on the road. The tire then began to act up and we stopped in Miranda.

The results ended up being a tire malfunction. Thankfully, nothing too dangerous happened and the biggest effect it had was putting us 5 hours behind schedule. We arrived in Santa Rosa at 6 and Elder Christensen and I drove into Vallejo at 8 PM. After a long evening, my companion and I are in the process of getting everything in order and getting to work!

I cannot believe that this will all come to an end in 12 weeks. Although I have come all the way up to this point every transfer (and ever day for that matter) feels like a new beginning. The time period may seem short but little things on a daily basis bring about great things! I'm excited for what is to come and to keep you all informed. I know, I know! I've said that countless times, but I definitely look forward to filling you all in on what happens during these last twelve weeks.

I wish you all a great week. <3
