Welcome!

This blog has been created to keep a record of Nathan's mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He has been called to serve in the Washington Vancouver mission and reported to the Missionary Training Center on December 20, 2017. My goal is to update this weekly with his emails home and a few extras at times. For more information about the LDS church or LDS missions in general, visit www.lds.org or mormon.org.

Week 2!

Nathan's email this week: This week was awesome! On Tuesday we had a meeting in Vancouver so Monday night we drove over because it takes two hours.

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 ;).

P-Day #8 - Hey All!

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  ...
