MY 1ST BAPTISM!!!!!!!!!!!!

So great news.....Wendy got baptized and confirmed this past Saturday and Sunday. It was so cool. It was such a sweet experience for me and her of course. FIrst off it will most likely be my most memorable baptism on my mission, not just b/c it was my first baptism but also because we had the zone leaders fill the baptismal font at the church and they being dum dums they forgot to turn off the water and they didnt tell us, So we had the service in the primary room and then as we went into where the font was and it was over flowing water into gym hahaha just gushing water everywhere. SO we kinda freaked out and hurried and turned off the water and starting filling up trash cans to have the water level go down. The reason we couldnt tell if the water was still on when we first checked it out to make sure it was full was b/c the jet where the water comes out was at the bottom of the font so you couldnt even notice or hear the water still coming. SO the Bishop baptized Wendy and it was a super cool experience. She loved it. Shes already receieving so many blessings its amazing. She got offered a brand new job 10 minutes after church on sunday that pays alot better. That was huge for her. SO were super stoked about that. Oh and the Bishop gave her the holy ghost as well. But Derek was supposed to be baptized on sunday, but we moved his baptism to this next sunday. Emily and Derek are going to have there baptism together on the 22nd. Derek asked me to baptize him and Emily asked Elder Davis to baptize so that will be really cool. Im excited for that. We gave Derek a blessing last wednesday to help him not have the desire to drink or smoke and hes been doing great ever since then. Emilys family invited us over for Thanksgiving so that will be fun. Her mom is hilarious, she loves us. Were hoping to teach her soon. Her dads a little hard headed though but its all good. We can getter done haha Nothing will stop us. Everyone in the ward is finally noticing that were bustin our butts errr day. So thats good. We havent been eating in members home at all. Emily has made us lunch and dinner a bit so thats been good. SO there doing really good. But Debbie who is going to be baptized on Dec 13th has been progressing amazingly. Shes so funny. Shes so enthusiastic its hilarious. But other than that things are going great. Ive been pretty sick this past week though. Ive been taking air borne like crazy. Just a bad cold. Just super fatigued and out of it with a bad sore throat and cough. Its rough on a bike with no energy. But ive been trying to get better. I feel like i need rest but then i cant work so thats no good. So hopefully ill get better asap. Im just not used to this cold weather. I need to get some cold gear under armor for the winter. All the missionaries out here have it. They say it keeps you so much warmer than thermals and its light weight. So thats something that will be good to have on the bike. Anyways i gotta get going. I love you all and I cant wait to hear back from ya....
Love, Elder Fielding
