P-Day #9 - Transfers!


 I'm almost done with my first transfer!
We got the transfer email of where people are going to be on Saturday but I'm not moving and neither is Elder Hofmann, I imagine we have one more transfer together then he's probably going to move also tomorrowis my two month mark! Our District stayed the same except one of the Long beach sisters missions ended so she goes home tomorrow! And her companion is staying and training. We did get a new Zone Leader and one of the Spanish Missionaries left from Astoria we see the Zl's and the Spanish Elders more than our actual district because they're closer and our building is in Astoria and Seaside and Long beach both have their own buildings, we are going down to Seaside today to a couple of beaches and the Nike Outlet so pictures to come! We got some really weird new investigators this week I can't remember if i told you about Dennis but we went to Subway for lunch and an old man came up to us and said "Hey you're Mormons!" Then we ate with him and tried to teach him a lesson but he wanted to talk about medieval times so we didn't think much of that until we found his address in area book! So we went by and he talked for a freakishly long time about the books he's written i don't know if we're going to see him again but we did commit him to study a pamphlet and take a BoM so hopefully he'll read those! We were walking down the street and some ladies were struggling with their alternator belt on their car so we helped and i got it on for them and we set up a lesson for this past week, it went well but Deeanna the daughter just likes to talk but they both took a BoM and i really think they'll read it! And Granny will be happy to hear they're Native American! It was a good week! Oh yah and it snowed for like five seconds yesterday!


The snow!

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.
