March 30, 2015. The End
March 23 2015
Hey all,
I only have 11 full days left as a missionary, and then I'll be heading back. How crazy is that??
I've been having those end-of-mission thoughts again. Whenever I dwell on me leaving Armenia, I get a little bit freaked out because it's a change. But then I think of all the things that I'll be jumping back into--school, family, friends, etc. and I get excited. It is starting to get a bit confusing. I'm doing okay though. After all, I'm in the best area ever!
Things are going good. Sister Bergin's awesome. She helps me in so many ways. I love her!!
M has been doing well. She should be getting baptized this week. She is going to have to have her baptismal interview again because she started drinking coffee again. So we'll be jumping on that again. She's going to be such a sweet addition to the ward. :)
It was a miracle this week because El came to church yesterday. She has been really depressed with her life lately, and she's been starting to blame it on the church. But when she came, she looked a lot better. We were just amazed that she came because she was saying that she never wanted to come back. So that was definitely a miracle!!
We had another sick day on Friday. I wasn't sick this time. Sister B is still sick. It's caused her to have an earache and fever. She started to have a lot of build-up in her ear, and it tore a little bit in there. So she occasionally has watery blood leaking out of her ears. Super grose. There was one point when we were in the middle of saying a prayer at an appointment, and she felt it start to drip down her neck. She was silently like, "Aaah!! Grose!!" Haha
Love you all! Take care!
Sister Fielding
By the way, Elder P. down in Artashat thought it would be funny to grow out his pinky nail. Just his pinky nail. Haha So grose. We got this from the Assistants to the President:
"P.S. Elders in Armenia, we've been asked to not grow out the nails on our little fingers. Thanks!"
SO funny.

We're having a really rough time on finding. We're going to try to fix that. It really stunk that we didn't find anyone last week. We gotta get that going so that next transfer they'll be having lots of success.
It seems like all of our investigators are dropping us. It has been a little bit depressing. I just keep thinking that "the Lord can do his own work." 2 Nephi 27:20-21 I'm going to try to make this last run really worth it.
On the other hand, Sir got baptized this week. She was SO excited to get into the baptismal font. She practically raced up the ladder. Also, one of the new converts in the ward got to baptize her. That was really exciting. Usually Bishop baptizes them, but he was in Yerevan and wasn't going to be able to do it. Well, Ser said that he couldn't baptize her. Well Ar (the new convert) was there, and we asked him if he wanted to do it. He said no, but in a way that showed that he DID want to but was being bashful. Then he said, "Yeah, I actually DO want to." So he got to!! It was his first time ever baptizing someone. :)
It was so funny because one of the investigators (who later dropped us) had us over, and she turned on her little heater. Well she said, "This is my husband. He warms me up." It was SO funny. We were laughing so hard.

My shirt got caught on fire this week. I was trying to make chicken pot pie, and apparently the flames from the stove caught on to my shirt, and thus on to part of my skirt too. It was CRAZY. So now there's a gaping hole in my shirt. It's about 4 inches long and an inch wide. I don't have my camera with me. Sorry!!
From Mom:
Yeah, good thing there are laundromats in Paris, because there's nothing like that in Armenia. Also, there aren't dryers here either. So yeah, make sure to get that done before you get here.
