Letter from Tacoma #30: May 23, 2016

 Letter home, number thirty... out of 104... strange.

So yeah, went to the temple this last week, up at the Seattle Temple (Bellevue, Washington😕). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see Ben while I was there, but I saw all of Seattle Mission's cars parked around the temple parking lot. Apparently, since our bus ran late in traffic, Seattle went into a session already, and they got out while we went in for ours... but oh well, there's always next year!😈

This week sounds like it's going to be fun. Have fun on your vaction, everyone! (It's basically for everyone, Brandon @ Hayden's, little kids at friends' house, everyone else on cruise, etc.)

As for me, this coming week is going to be very busy. We have a few scheduled appointments with two of our investigators, and we've got plans to do service for three different members throughout the week, so it should be fun. Not to mention it's the last week of the transfer (already?!?), so transfer calls are this Saturday. I'm guessing I'll be staying here in Mountain View for at least another transfer or two, but I can't say the same for my companion, Elder Jensen. It'll be a shame if he gets transferred out, because he's really been my 2nd most favorite companion so far... My trainer, Elder Hansen, still holds 1st, but he's heading home next week as this is his last transfer.

Yikes, half of my past companions will be home by the time we hit October!

Well, good news is that I've been bringing my camera around with me more, and as would luck would have it, the SD card reader I have has quit working on me. So, sorry, no pictures this week. but here are some picutres from the mission temple trip... er, or at least, one of the three sessions I was in. Mission Blog: Tacoma Temple Trip

(Try to find me!)👻

Oh yeah, and supposedly it seems that some of my mail, specifically the missionary moments our ward, is being sent to my first area, Key Center. Could somebody let anybody in charge of that know that I'm not there anymore (even if I wish I were)?

If anyone wants to send me mail, send it to either the mission office:

4007 Bridgeport Way, Suite D
University Place, WA 98466

or to my current position:

P.O. Box 242
Toledo, WA 98591

I love you all!
Thanks for reading!

Letter from Tacoma #62: January 2, 2017

Hey Everybody! I'm finally  in  the new area... well, technically it's two areas. We cover both the Silverdale 1st and Brownsville wards. It's made work a bit interesting as I'm trying to figure out which investigators and members are  from  which wards. Oh yeah, and it's still freezing cold up here. Hopefully it goes away by the time February comes. 'Till then I'll just have to bundle up. Monday: I packed up all  of  my stuff  in  Ocean Shores, made all the preparations for transfers, and sent off the package home with the stuff I don't need right now. By the way, has that package arrived yet? I hope it didn't get lost  in  the mail. That would stink if it did! Tuesday: Transfer Day! We left at about 10 to drive to Olympia to meet up with other missionaries going to Tacoma for transfers. Elder Devenberg picked up his new companion there, and since we had time to kill before we had to go to Tacoma, we had lunch at 5 Guys. Afterwards, I s...
