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 since Warrenton is pretty much out in the boonies tracting isn't effective at all so we do a lot of member work trying to reactivate and get part member families and stuff like that. We did find 3 new investigators this week! We found Sue Moore a lady in her 60s with 2 compound fractures in her back because she just moved in the same complex as our recent convert Michelle. She's super Christian but her bible knowledge is lacking so we help her with alot of the words we've only met with her once but she is at Michelle's house so much that we just visit Michelle to have a lesson with Sue! Our 2nd investigator is sister price her husband and son are members but she is super skeptical. Then one of the members daughter's is investigating the church which is awesome! Carole is doing well her baptismal date got moved to Feb 23rd! Pam and her daughter Molly are super elect but they are waiting to pick a date which is weird but whatever they're awesome and not going anywhere. 
Yesterday at church we were talking and a member told us that Brother LeChurch was sick so we texted his wife to see if we could come over. A little preface brother LeChurch is like 90%blind in both eyes so he can't make out details but he still chops wood and sells it for money because he is retired it's mainly just a hobby but it does help he just does it very carefully haha. His seeing eye dog Clayton is dope. But either way he does have Bronchitis so i got to give him a blessing yesterday which was awesome because i love that guy and that was my first blessing! I don't know what we're doing today hopefully something fun but i know tomorrow we're helping dig a trench if it's not raining too hard haha.

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.
