P-Day #6

I'm getting so confused on which week it is! I started my emails to Nathan by counting P-days, so that's what I'm going to go with! ;)

P-Day # 6 (including MTC time) was Jan. 29, 2018. Here's Nathan's email and some pictures - heavy on the pics this week!

From Elder Donaldson: This week was crazy! So after PDay we had a zone conference on Tuesday which was awesome i got to see Elder Belnap and we got some good training. Then Wednesday we had a district meeting and then exchanges with the Zone Leaders Elders Schut and Berry but that got cut short because some other elders were fighting and they had to take care of that. Then Thursday we had a bunch of service which was awesome we helped at the senior center and at the food bank. Friday was our Mission Temple Day!!! So we drove like 2 hours to portland, i love the Portland Temple it's marble and gorgeous it's my home screen on my phone now! That was fun then Saturday i was on exchanges in Seaside which is probably the most beautiful place i have been with the beaches right next to the evergreens it was gorgeous!😍😍😍 and Sunday we had a regional stake conference so we got to hear about member missionary work from elder christofferson! Elder Hofmann has been kind of annoying me but we are getting along better after i kind of yelled at him and maybe chewed him out a bit but it's all love! Our investigator Carole has had a rough couple of weeks so we're rescheduling her baptism from this Saturday to sometime later in February. Pam and Molly are basically ready for baptism they're just thinking of a date! I love Warrenton and I love the people!

Mela Kaliki Maka! (I can't spell but that means Merry Christmas in Hawaiian) Sunday was Christmas eve and even though it was only 6 days ago it feels like forever. So we usually have a Sunday devotional and a Tuesday devotional but because Monday was Christmas we had three devotionals in a row. I do not remember much from the Christmas Eve devotional, not because it was bad but the other two really blew it out of the water, especially Christmas. The Christmas Eve devotional was just a little play about the birth of the Savior by a bunch of adorable kids that couldn't remember their lines haha. Then we watched a video that MTC President Martino's grandkids put together for the missionaries which was awesome. Christmas day was awesome, but they didn't plan it very well in my opinion. We were scheduled to do service early so we all woke up like half an hour early and went to our spot but no one came because of Christmas so we just studied then we had breakfast then we ...

MTC day!! (Mom's version again)

Dec. 20, 2017 Nathan entered the MTC today! It was emotional, but I'm so proud of him and know he's going to be fine. He's up for adventure and has faith and a good testimony and will be an excellent missionary.   This morning we got up and puttered around a little. Nathan added the rest of the stuff we had bought here to his suitcases and took a shower after I trimmed up his neck hair (and irritated his skin on his neck - oops) so he wouldn't look scruffy going in. London and Porter were here from a little before 9 until about 11:30 and Samia was here for the last half hour or so of that. I brought our Fisher Price nativity sets for Porter because London doesn't want to share hers. Porter brought the stable, baby Jesus, and one of the shepherds over with him and played with it the whole time. London played with Pam's homemade stuffed nativity set. They are into scripting from Peppa Pig lately, so Porter kept introducing himself as George and telling us Lond...

Travel Day!

Nathan left the MTC at about 3:30 this morning (ugh!!) and was scheduled to fly out of Salt Lake City at about 8:25 am, then get to the Portland airport at about 9:25 am - a 2 hour flight, but they gain an hour. Some nice guy at the airport who was travelling to Jerusalem for a study abroad semester bought him and his companion breakfast at the airport and let them use his phone for a super quick call - like 30 seconds - to tell me he loved me and that they've been talking to people at the airport about the church and had a mini-discussion with a custodian in the restroom. :) He sounded so excited! I'm anxiously checking my email and the mission facebook page for any updates, but haven't gotten any yet. Not sure if I will until P day, which is now on Mondays. So proud of this kiddo! Watch out Washington! Washington-Vancouver mission boundaries in blue.
