Hermana Dastrup is going to...

STAY WITH ME IN STOCKTON!!! Hahaha, I got you all didn't I. I'm sure I'm going to hear from mom about the heart attack I gave her or something, but I just couldn't resist! So, yes, H.D. and H.B. are staying yet another transfer in the wonderful city of Stockton, whose siren anthem is music to my ears! The assistents told us last night, "How does it feel to be the longest companionship in the mission???" H.D. and I are spending at least 1/3 of our missions together! We are both really excited!

So, Dad... How was hunting? Hows work? When do my nuggies start up again? What's the weather like? Why didn't you get me some elk??? Oh, so guess what! Funny Story:

Big Daddio sent me a Hunting Snack Package last week and it came last Thursday, the same day as district meeting. Every district meeting, our Zone Leaders have started a new newsletter kind of thing for Zone unity and fun. Anyway every week they do a true or false and this week was my week to be spotlighted! My true or false was along the lines of "True or False: Sister Bradfield hunts white tail bucks and was sponsered by Wincherster Rifles." Needless to say, my hunting package couldn't have come at a more opportune time and there were quite a few Elders like "What? Seriously?" and Sister Dastrup played it up even more! I didn't say one word! They are all anxiously waiting to hear if its true or not! :D

Today we went to the temple, which is why we are email so late. It was a crazy day! But it was so great to go back to the temple after so long. It's horrible to go from going once a week to only being able to go once every 3 months and even longer this last time. I can't even imagine what it would be like if I wasn't serving in an area with a temple so I really can't complain! Anyway it was really good.

Thanks for the package. I ate my chocolate in 2 days (Sister Dastrup helped me and now she's making me help her with hers!) and the cookies we're trying to eat sparingly! ;) Thanks for the stationary too!

Next time you send me a package, could you please include Kim's journal she gave me with the elephants on it??? My miracle journal got ruined the other night and some of my entries are gone! It was a sad day but I guess I've learned my lesson!

Alright well I love you all! I hope all is going well! Good luck with Wendy this weekend Kim. I know you will do great! Is there anyway to record it so I can watch it later?

Love you all!
Hermana Bradfield


Buenas Dias Noticias - Another transfer has come and gone and...Hermana Dastrup and I are staying together for another transter! For those of you who don't like to do math, this means that Hermana Dastrup and I will have been companions for at least 1/3 of our missions (6 months.) The assistants told us we are the oldest/longest companionship in the mission. I guess we must be doing something good that the Lord wants to keep us together. We are very excited! I know I wasn't feeling ready to leave. I've got unfinished work to do here in Stockton!

It sounds like most of the zone stayed the same this transfer as well. That's really good! We had an awesome zone last transfer.

Today is transfer p-day and Hermana Dastrup and I are on our way up to the Sacramento Temple. Our friend and member, Hermana Hixson, was excited for the opportunity to take us and come with us to do the work for some of her family. I'm so excited to be going to the temple again. It's been too long since I've last been.

Our investigators are all doing really, really well. Antonio, our friend who was going to be baptized, isn't ready for this week. Hermana Dastrup and I both feel that he's not ready and he has a lot of concerns and doubts. So we are going to push his baptism date at least a couple of weeks, we think.

I am so grateful for this opportunity I have to serve another transfer here in Stockton and with Sister Dastrup. This transfer is going to be the best of them all.

Well, I hope everyone is doing really well and enjoying the cooler weather. I know I am! My wardrobe has become more colorful now because I can actually wear my sweaters. ;) I love you all and I hope you all have a great week!

Always,
Hermana Bradfield
