Week 2!

Nathan's email this week:


This week was awesome! On Tuesday we had a meeting in Vancouver so Monday night we drove over because it takes two hours. We stayed at the AP's apartment and went to the Mission Office the next day. We got to watch the announcement of President Nelson and the Press Conference which was good then i got to see my buddies from the MTC which is always great everyone's doing awesome! We have a little bit of a competition to see who can come up with the most Bigfoot/Sasquatch apparel or accessories so if you want to help me out ;). Any way we had some good training Tuesday then we drove 2 hours back and had dinner at a members house. The members here are amazing they're so strong and loving with our investigators and so willing to help. Pam Barela who is are super elect investigator who studies seriously everything she just wants to know everything there is to know, we were gonna talk about the steps to baptism then she said "I already looked over the interview questions!" We hadn't even mentioned those yet! She's not on date for baptism because she wants to be baptized with her daughter Molly so we're playing catch up with her but it's hard because she's only here every other weekend because she lives in Portland with her dad most of the time. Our other super elect investigator Carole has had a rough week a death of a family friend and some other stuff so her baptism next saturday isn't a sure thing but i have faith in her. Saturday was crazy it was Elder Hofmann's 20th bday so in the morning we helped clean the church then we had our daily planning then we got Frite and Scoop which is hipster for fries and ice cream with Pam and Molly they're so great! After that and a couple other lessons we went to stop by one of the recent concerts Michelle. She's a bigger lady who's had some health concerns. Either way we had just started to give the lesson when she gripped her chest and started freaking out because of the pressure and pain in there. I was so freaked out! She asked us for a blessing but when it didn't get better after that she had me call 911 and the fire department and the ambulance showed up it was pretty crazy! Then yesterday was a nice restful day in comparison then we already went to the beach this morning more pics to come!

Green and wet!

Water, water everywhere!

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 .
