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.

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!

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 .

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  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 ...
