Well,
you all probably thought I went missing or something, but surprise I'm still
alive! Sorry, it has just been a crazy past few weeks so I haven't had much
time to email. Plus, my tablet was acting dumb for a couple of weeks so I
wasn't even getting emails. But anyway, I'll just sum up the good stuff that
has happened over the past couple of weeks!
Two weeks ago, Darlene was BAPTIZED!!!! It was so awesome! She is just amazing and the Spirit just radiates from her! I had the awesome opportunity to baptize her and it was incredible. Man, it was such a wonderful way to end my time in Roseville! I'm not gonna lie it was hard leaving Roseville because everyone there was just so awesome and the work was going so great! It was great as well because during my final sacrament meeting I was able to bear my testimony and let everyone there know how much I love and appreciate them. Roseville will forever hold a place in my heart <3
So yes I was transferred.............and I was transferred to good ol' Redding, California! Yes, I now have left California and entered the State of Jefferson ha-ha. I was so excited when I found out I was getting transferred here! Let's just say this Utah boy was missing the mountains ha-ha. It's so awesome because you can get some beautiful views of Mount Shasta here! Except the drawback is it smells like straight weed here and there are quite a few crazy people, but there are also some amazing people here. My new companion is Elder Semeatu and he is so awesome!! He's only been out for 3 months so it's actually pretty fun being with a newbie like me. He's from Australia and New Zealand so he has a sweet accent. But we have been having a ton of fun and seeing lots of miracles. We cover 3 Wards so it is a lot to handle but it's great because we always have something to do. Our first weekend together we went up to Weaverville and had a few lessons and attended sacrament meeting there. One of our lessons was with Sean Williamson and it was an interesting experience, but it was awesome! We extended the invitation to be baptized on May 12th, but they said they needed to get married first (which we knew) so they said that wouldn't work because they we are getting married May 19th! We invited him to be baptized on May 26th and he said YES! And the two sons, Cobe and Oogie, said yes to being baptized on June 2nd! So, it was an awesome miracle. The next day attending sacrament meeting was very interesting because it is a really small ward, like really small. But it was still great.
This week was a pretty great week I'd say. On Tuesday, we had interviews with President Ward and that was great as usual. He is such an incredible and inspired man. We also got our smartphones so that was exciting, except they aren't active for another couple weeks but, it's whatever. On Thursday, we had an incredible miracle! We went to visit this potential investigator named Todd and when we got there he was sitting on his patio. We had an amazing discussion with him about Jesus Christ and the Atonement. The Spirit was so strong while we were with him, and by the end of it, we were all in tears and when we left, he gave both me and Elder Semeatu and hug. He's a great guy and we have a lot of hope for him.

But
oh man! The highlight of this week had to be General Conference! It was so
amazing. The Spirit was just being poured out during each session and it was
just such an amazing thing to witness! All the changes are totally inspired and
are truly a testimony to me that the Lord is in charge and that we can still
receive revelation today! Speaking of revelation, my favorite talk was
President Nelson's. I loved how he spoke on how we can receive personal revelation
through the Holy Ghost. But General Conference was just amazing. But still a
little saddened they didn't announce a Sandy temple:(
Anyways, I love you all and I appreciate all the love and support you give me. And just know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers! Have a great week and party it up for me!
Love, Elder Schneiter
