P-Day #1 email and pics

12/23/17: From Nathan:

 Hey guys just wanted to let you know I'm doing awesome and this is the best time of my life so far, I love my district, the Elders in my picture and also the Sisters, and my teachers are amazing.
Nathan's district

Elder Belnap, Nathan's companion, AKA Elder Jinglesleep.

Elder Johnson with lego missionaries!

MTC campus at Christmastime

From Left to right: Elder Eggett, Me, Elder Belnap (District Leader/ Companion), Elder Johnson, Elder Zeller, Elder Barry!
The MTC has been awesome, the classes are so engaging and it's awesome to feel the Spirit of the Lord everywhere you go! I'll send more pictures later. It snowed Wednesday night and Thursday morning, but on Thursday Elder Barry got a stomach bug so I got to help give him a blessing with Elder Johnson.
Elder Eggett is a technical genius, he does freelance development and programming from Lehi, Utah
Elder Belnap my companion is awesome he's a mountain man that does parkour, on the way to gym last night he just did a casual flip while we were running over to play volleyball, from Preston, Idaho where Napoleon Dynamite lives
Elder Johnson went through basic in the army reserve and has been telling us crazy stories about his service, he is a true patriot from somewhere in Utah idk where
Elder Zeller is awesome, he's the biggest goofball ever, he's so humble and willing to listen, he's a bit crazy though from Las vegas, Nevada.
Elder Barry is awesome too we love to mess around and have fun from Lehi Utah as well
We live in a dorm with three bunk beds but we only have 4 people so poor Elder Egget, being the shortest and last one that arrived he got stuck on the top bunk, Elder Zeller is his companion and they're like polar opposites but they love eachother. Elder Johnson and Barry are companions but they're in the room next door. We've been having alot of fun but also getting down to work as well, Elder Belnap and I give a lesson tomorrow in Priesthood meeting about the Creation, Agency, and God's Plan for Us. We've had so many teachers because the original teacher Sister Crockett is on a vacation with her family, our District is compiled with sisters too, we have a picture from dinner last night, this is the best thing that I can imagine myself doing right now and I have grown so much closer to my Father in Heaven already! The food is good and the sleep is better but I love it here, and I love all of you!
Vaya con Dios!

P-Day #8 - Hey All!

This week was crazy we went on exchanges twice! So on Wednesday i went with one of my Zone Leaders Elder Schut in Warrenton it was my first time leading the area which is weird but it was fine and Elder Schut and I had a good time meeting with our investigators and recent converts. Then i was with Elder Schut again! In Astoria though, in Astoria they have the ZL's but also the Spanish missionaries so the apartment is always a party! We had a good day with allot of service and even found a new investigator! For Astoria... We also had Stake Conference which was great President and Sister McAteer surprised us when they showed up and spoke! The topics were Missionary work and building Zion it was awesome! After the beginning of the week it actually got sunny there's no fog anymore! But since the cloud cover is gone it is colder in the morning but it's still in the 40's haha i love it here so much! Couple frogs from service  Beautiful drive  ...

P Day #7

Yah i already lost track of what week I'm on but i have transfers marked on a calendar so it wont be too big of a surprise for me. Since I am still training it's like a 95% chance I'm gonna stay in Warrenton with Elder Hofmann for this next transfer at least but after that it is likely that he'll get transferred out and I'll be leading this area! I've already told President McAteer that I want to train early and often, not sure if he took me seriously but I love that guy and I know he loves his missionaries.  It has been very rainy and grey and foggy  on Tuesday  we went to Rainier, Oregon, i think, for a mid- transfer interview with President McAteer which went well but it was sunny for probably about 15 minutes so that was nice i haven't really seen the sun since though. On the way back we stopped at the Logger which is a diner and had huge burgers pictured below haha it was a 1 pound pattie.  This week we've really been focusing on finding sin...

Zone Conference Pics!

Whoever manages the mission FB page is so great about taking and putting up pictures of the missionaries at their Zone Conferences, etc. I love scanning the pictures looking for my boy! And I love how I can't help but smile and get the warm fuzzies when I find him! Here are a few from the North Zone Conference at the Ridgefield Stake Center Feb 23, 2018 .
