BMX BIKE!!!

Ok so ive got a tiny bit of bad news but then i have some amazing news. The bad news is that Wendy was supposed to get baptized yesterday on sunday but she didnt....the reason is b/c her husband is a trucker and she was going to quit her job and go live in his semi truck with him and basically live on the road so she could be with him all the time b/c he had been gone for over a month now. So if she went on the road she wouldnt be able to go to church every sunday or at all basically. Which means she wouldnt be able to keep her promises to the lord by going to church. So it was probably one of the hardest things to do in my life, which was to tell someone that desires to be baptized and receive countless blessings that they now cant be baptized. it was horrible. but she understood why which was good. So she prayed about it to see what was her best option. She came to the conclusion of moving to tennessee into her parents home. She either had to go on the road or move in with her parents b/c she is about to be evicted. So thats why she wasnt baptized yesterday. But the good news is that she is going to be baptized this saturday...SOOOOO STOKED. Shes way excited. She asked the Bishop to baptize her so that will be cool. Im giving the closing prayer haha SWEET. So things are back on track with Wendy. Got bumpy but shes solid again. So the other amazing news is..... Remember Debbie? Well.....we set a baptismal date with her for Dec. 13.....woop woop. SOOOO PUMPED. Thats now 4 baptisms coming up. We are soo excited for them all. We had 5 investigators to church yesterday. The Mission standard of excellence is 3 so we destroyed that. Our mission president asked Elder Davis and I if we wanted to put 2 more Elders back into the area b/c were just crazy busy and we told him NO WAY haha We dont want any other missionaries messing up all the good things we have going for the area. He said its possible we might be getting a car though which might be nice for the winter. But i honestly like the bike. it keeps me somewhat in shape and makes me work even harder. It makes me know that im working hard for all the blessings were receiving. But as far as for Derek, hes pumped and ready to get baptized on sunday. Also Emily is still on track too. She will be baptized on Nov. 22nd. So everything is going good for the most part. I woke up this morning with a bad sore throat and i felt like i got hit by a train so thats no good. I took some airborne today though so hopefully that helps. If it gets worse then good thing Elder Davis has pegs so i can just piggy back on the back of his bike all around town hahaha jk. But we have been averaging 25 miles a day on the bikes....its intense. Plus im on a BMX bike haha I love it. On saturday we got to Build a new deck in Emilys backyard so that was fun. I do work with a drill hahaha We also raked this ladies whole yard the other day. It was covered with leaves. Theres over 20 bags of leaves ready to be picked up by the garbage truck haha It was alot of hard work but worth it. I love serving others. But i hope everyone is doing great. I miss you all and love ya tons. Keep our investigators in ur prayers...
Love, Elder Fielding
