Week 22: Port Angeles???

Hello everybody!

Crazy news. I kinda told all of you the wrong place of where I was going. I am in Port Angeles, not Port Townsend. Sorry about that.

I have been enjoying it here so far. The city here is a lot bigger than Yelm! It has a pretty big commercial center with more than like 2 stores in it! I am now covering two separate wards, Lincoln Park (yes, like the band) and Mt. Pleasant. Both wards are pretty small, but they seem like a really tight nit group which is awesome. Going to ward council and two wards does make for a long day at church though. Yesterday we were there from 7:30 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon!

It is really pretty here as well, being so close to all of the water. In the morning you can hear horns from the barges and stuff as they come in and out of the port. It is really cool, a lot different than the sounds of the military base by Yelm. Being in a quad is a lot of fun as well. Having three companions instead of 1 makes life a lot different. Every time we go knocking or anything I am with a different person! It makes for a pretty good time. The area I am in now is a lot faster pace than Yelm. There are so many people and because of it, there are more people open to learning more! It should be a good transfer. I look forward to it. All 4 of us are brand new to the area as well, so we know nobody. It makes every day an adventure because none of us know what we are doing. Ha!

There was also a really big storm here a few days ago and the whole city lost power. There were fences blown over everywhere and trees down blocking a lot of the roads. Luckily, our power came on in a day. There are still some places that don't have it! We have been doing all that we can to help out.

Anyways, that is all for this week. Till next time.
