Step into the raw, unfiltered world of a nineteen-year-old on a mission in 'Goin’ back to Californ-I-A.' Steve Todd leaves behind the comfort of Georgia--and the girl who captured his heart--for the sunbaked streets of Southern California, determined to serve The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly known as the Mormons or LDS). Through honest, heartfelt journal entries, Steve invites you to experience the spiritual highs, crushing lows, and everyday struggles of missionary life.From the intense spiritual training at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah to the gritty reality of Fontana, California--a town as tough as its reputation--Todd faces relentless rejection, homesickness, and the constant tug of a love left behind. Yet, amid the smog and setbacks, moments of grace and transformation shine through: the joy of a hard-won baptism, the comfort of newfound faith, and the forging of lifelong resilience.'Goin’ back to Californ-I-A' is more than a memoire; its a coming-of-age journey brimming with hope, heartbreak, and the relentless pursuit of purpose. Perfect for readers seeking an authentic look at faith, perseverance, and the messy beauty of growing up, this is a story that will stay with you long after the final page.So fasten your helmet and enjoy this front-seat ride through the streets of Southern California. You won’t be able to put this memoire down! This memoire is 242 pages long.
