Hi everyone!
I can't believe transfers are here again already! It really feels like I just got to Vacaville. My companion, Sister Clawson, is getting transferred to a tiny little place called 'Middletown', It's about 6 streets long and 6 streets wide and happens to be one of California's capitals of crystal meth and toothless hippies :) I'm sad that she's leaving, but I'm getting a pretty cool companion, Sister Holguin! She was trained by Sister Hamilton right before I was! ...I kicked her out of Dixon :) She's awesome and has a fun personality, so I'm sure this will be a fun transfer.
So highlights of this week:
-We had dinner with one of the families that we picked up last week! They are so sweet and have so much potential! They fed us really yummy thai food and we had a good gospel discussion. They both know a lot of Mormons and David loves all that the church is about and how close our families are, but he can't get over our 'founder' Joseph Smith. Liz doesn't really see the need for a church but loves having us come over and talk to them. They didn't come to church, but we're working on it!
-A less active member who we've been working with came to church for the first time in like 20 years! He said it was just like he remembered it being, not very interesting...but he said he's coming again! :)
-We had a lesson with another less-active member, Anthony, who has been struggling with believing in God. He told us that he's been praying and that he's been seeing how much happier it makes him! He said he's going to buy some church clothes and bring his whole family to church next week!
-I was adopted into a barbershop quartet and learned how to sing tenor and learned a cute barbershop quartet song :)
-We went to the grand opening of chick-fil-a in Vacaville and got gift certificates and cute little stuffed cows for attending! haha
So overall a pretty awesome week :)
Hope you all are having a great week! Love you all!

Mom:
Thanks for the Videos, they were great! It sounds like Box Elder has just as much musical talent as ever! They'll do awesome!
I'm glad that you got Sister Monson's e-mail! We were actually just talking with her late last night when she asked for our parents e-mails, so I can't believe she sent one already!
At the moment we have 2 baptismal dates, Jennifer Medil and Zach Wilde, but they're both pretty iffy right now, so they'll probably get pushed back a while.
Anything that I need for Christmas...whatever you decide to send me will be great :) I can't really think of anything in particular right now, so I'll get back to you on that :)
Thanks for all that you do for me! I love you :)
Dad:
Love you too! I'm glad that everything is going well! I'm not sure how 'in-shape' I'm going to get here in Vacaville, I can run all I want but I'm pretty sure I've already gained 10 lbs here! I guess I shouldn't complain that the member's love us though :) Have you heard of Fenton's before? It's a really yummy Ice cream place :) 1 order of ice cream is enough to feed a family of 5 and the members love to get each missionary their own! I also found out that Fenton's is in the Disney movie "up" pretty cool, huh? :) Anyway, love you, have a great week!
Mandee:
You make me laugh :) It's way weird to think that I'm already 1/3 the way through my mission, it's gone by so fast! You guys sound awesome in les mis, I'm sad that I'm going to be missing it! You'll have to sing me all your parts when I get back :)
That's good that you still have a 4.0, don't lose that, work hard! Learn spanish! :) Love you!
Tyson:
It's good to hear that you're liking school? Have you started doing any sports? Football? Wrestling? Golf? Golf is fun :) That's so cool that you got to go on a field trip to hardware ranch!! Is it snowing up there yet? I feel like it should be cold right now, as it is almost the middle of November, but it's still about 80 degrees here. In California the weather stays really hot for a while and then plummets over night. I thought we were done with the heat but apparently mother nature thinks otherwise.
It sounds like you've been doing awesome! What's the weirdest thing YOU'VE eaten this week? Have a good time at Mandee's play! Tell me how it goes! Love you!
Grandpa Bick:
It sounds like you guys have been keeping busy! I'll have to go hunting/camping with you when I get back. And golfing, I'll be a pro by then :)
That's cool that you've got a big presentation coming up! You're really good at stuff like that :) what is the presentation for? is it for a specific company? I forgot that you wrote a book! How is that going?
I'm glad that Grandma is doing so much better this year! Tell her and Lacey that they should sign up for a yoga class, yoga is fun :) Or water aerobics! That's pretty fun too :)
Thanks for writing me! Love you, have a great week!
