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!

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.

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  ...

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  tomorrow is 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 ...
