Week 92: Last One

Hello everyone! This email, in case you couldn't guess by the title, is going to be my last email I send for my mission. Yup, the clock is almost done ticking. This Thursday I will be home from my mission. It has been an awesome time out here in Washington, and I've gotten to meet so many awesome people. I wouldn't change any of it. Thank you all for your support.

This week was fairly uneventful. Not a lot of things out of the ordinary happened. We did, however, have transfer calls! That was fun. I already knew mine (home) but my companions got some pretty good ones. I am excited for them. 

Anyways, that's all folks.

Love

Interviews

Week 91: The Quarantine Quarantinues

Hello everyone! Pardon my terrible title.

This week was good. As you could probably guess, the vast majority of the week was spent inside. However we did get a few times to escape throughout the week.

On Tuesday we were able to go and deliver mail to the zone, which was fun. I got to see everyone and be out of the house for awhile. 

Then on Wednesday we got asked to go and help out at a church camp, so from around 9 am to 3 pm we were in the woods doing various tasks such as but not limited to, painting trailers, welding windowsills, fusing water slides, and eating burgers. It was a good break from the mundaneness of quarantine. I look forward to going again this week. 

Friday was spent at the church building because of MLC (Mission Leader Conference) and during/after we helped the Yelm elders film some videos for our zone Facebook page, "Come Unto Christ in Lacey". It was a lot of fun. So, all in all, it was not a bad week! It sure went by fast. I look forward to what this new week has in store.

Week 90: And so it goes

Hello everyone! This week has been a good one! Not a whole lot of things happened but we taught some good lessons over the phone and had interviews this week! Interviews went really well. It was my last one, so my mission president gave me a bunch of really solid life advice. I enjoyed it. We are starting to get more accustomed to working digitally and are getting better at it which is nice. Hopefully the work here will continue to pick up!

Love

Week 89: Week 3

Hello everyone! This week was good! The majority of it was spent inside our apartment. However, on Tuesday, we spent the entire afternoon driving from area to area in the zone delivering mail to everyone because we can't gather as a zone right now. That was a lot of fun. Then, this weekend was General Conference! That was cool. There were a lot of good things that were talked about. A member here loaned us a TV and a Chromecast so we could put our phone screen on the TV so we could watch conference. It was pretty nice. Also, I made Peanut Butter Fudge!
