Hello,
It
has been a super-fast week! I don’t know if that was just here in Washington or
if it happened all over the world.... who knows. Anyway, mission life is good! We
have been able to teach a lot of people through finding and we committed 10
people to baptism. Not all of them are for us in the YSA but we still get to
plant the seed of faith in people and give them the opportunity to learn more
and become converted, which is AWESOME! This gospel is so amazing! I find new
things every day and they are always a testimony builder! I find that every
time I read the scriptures I am filled with the desire to share what I’ve
learned and guess what!? I’ve been blessed to be able to do that!

I would like to take a
brief moment to discuss Washington traffic, or at least Kent/Renton traffic. The
roads here are sort of weird and crazy and the people driving are sort of weird
and crazy as well. Sister Taylor and I,
almost daily, will end up sitting in a line of cars for at least 20 min. I’m
sure if our area was smaller we wouldn’t care so much because we could just
walk but that is sadly not a possibility. The other day we were on our way to a
lesson with an investigator and we had given ourselves 10 min to spare so we
thought we would be okay. FALSE ADVERTISING! We were stuck, without moving, for
30 min because the railroad had a train stuck in the middle of the tracks. At
first we were kinds frustrated but then we could only laugh about it. There
were people honking and yelling and hitting their heads on the head rests of
their cars. You would have thought we were in New York! haha! All I know is
that big city life is definitely not for me haha!

Our wonderful cottage
on the lake is having some issues at the moment. We have been exposed to what
the world would call black mold. It has invaded our personal space and is
slowly but surely eating away our bathroom. Have no fear though, our wonderful
house people, those in charge of our living situations are on it! We have to
have our bathroom remodeled and basically gutted! But that means that we have
to vacate the premises as soon as the contractor comes through the door. Where
will we go you might ask? Let me answer that for ya. We will be living with the
mission president and his wife for a couple days or weeks however long it
takes. I have yet to decide if this will be fun or not. Their house is in maple valley so we will have
to drive quite a ways but the thought of sitting on the couch at night while
mingling with those who are in charge of us is kind of a funny thought! More
news on that lovely experience to come!
