Elder Shields in Carlsbad, CA

Hey guys!  So this week we got transfers. Elder Methvin will be leaving and I will be getting a new companion, his name is Elder Bytendorp. I don't know much about him other than he has a a weird name hah.  The Ducketts are still doing really well and look like they'll make their date of June 29th! We have another lesson with them tonight.  We are teaching a Chinese guy named Clark, we had a lesson with him this week. He really wants to do all he can to follow God and is excited to learn about our church. He is concerned about coming to church because his wife doesn't speak English. So we are getting all the info for a Mandarin speaking branch nearby.  President Thomas did a mass exit interview with all the missionaries going home this transfer and the transfer I leave. So I got to go to the mission office and get some good advice from him. It was mostly on marriage, dating, and finances. I got to see a lot of old companions at the meeting it was awesome!  We went

Hey Everyone!!  This week was another great one!  We have a super awesome part member family named the Ducketts that we are teaching. We lost contact with them during the week but we have a lesson with them tonight!  Sadly there was an Elder in the zone that went to the hospital this week. It was Elder Snyder my greenie! He crashed his bike super bad and broke his nose and his cheekbone. Just remember when you are riding your bike to use the handlebars😁😁  Zone conference and President interviews was this week. It was super sad because this is the last time that President will he doing zone conferences and interviews for us😢 very emotional time but we will need to support the Riverside mission President (President Hammon) when the change happens.  Love you all Elder Shields  Old Friends Elder Snyder Tmec Zone
