April 23, 2018







Tuesday-
I got transferred to Federal Way!! We taught a lesson to (R) who is a DJ. It was a pretty good lesson we taught about the Book of Mormon and the Plan of Salvation. He's a good guy but just has a hard time retaining the information. We then had a meeting with President Keney who is the Stake President and also President Rassmussen the mission President. We have this meeting once a month to talk about the work that is going on within the zone which is a lot! I'm so excited for this transfer.

Wednesday-

I love it here!! This is what I think I thought my mission was going to be like. 

We are just up here in da hood / city and there is more diversity here then I have ever seen in my life. I talked to more people today who didn't speak English the I have my whole mission combined.( Well tried to talk to at least.) 

Not only that but we were finding investigators too!! We were tracting in some big homes down on the Puget Sound (ocean, so pretty!) We met this guy named (S). He is a African American midget!! He was sweet! He just let us teach him right there on the spot and that has like hardly ever happened on my mission. It's like a totally different culture here. We taught about prophets and the Book of Mormon and he committed to read and we will be going back next Thursday! We talked to more people today though then I usually do in a transfer. It felt so good though. I just constantly felt like I was fulfilling my purpose all day. It was so fun! I love this gospel and I love Federal Way!

Thursday-
We had a lesson with a less active member. It was a pretty good lesson and we went planning on teaching about the sacrament and church. It was really cool because he had already made some personal goals to come out and attend all three hours of church from now on. So that was cool! We also got a new investigator named (P). We found him at 8:45 right before we went in. We had some extra time and so we went and walked the highway and found him at one of the bus stops. He let us teach him right there on the spot which was cool!

Friday-
Friday... we were off ha ha We had the sisters in our zone ask us of we could come and give a blessing to one of their investigators that was having a hard time. So we went over Friday morning and I was able to give her a blessing. It was a pretty special moment and then we helped her pack some things because she had to leave her house with her 2 kids. As we were leaving... it was 9:04, some of the other missionaries asked us what time interviews with the President started. I looked at Elder Wright and I'm like no way are interviews today. We had totally forgotten about them and they started at 9:00  ha ha So we had to rush home change into our suits and then head to the church. Luckily we were giving a blessing and Presidents is pretty understanding. It was funny.

Saturday-
Saturday was fun. We had our festival of finding day but we did it a little bit different. From 9-12 there was a federal way service day at celebration park and the community was coming together to clean up the park. There was like 500 people there it was pretty cool. So as a zone we went and helped and there was a lot of members there as well.

Sunday-
Sunday is always good in a new area because it's a time to get to know all of the new members. It's a good ward but it's an old ward. There are not many youth which is different from my last area. (We had 60 young women and 40 young men) But it is a good ward.

I'm loving this new area though. It's so much easier to find people to teach here. Of course every area has its struggles and here it's finding people who will keep there return appointments. We are working with quite a few people so that is good. There was so much that happened this week. There is no way to write it all. But I'm doing good!

This area is super pretty too. I'll send some pictures. We are right on the Puget Sound and we go down to Redondo Beach and contact people out on the pier. It's pretty fun! 
Thank you all for all you do. I love you and have a good week!

~I bet Ty is getting anxious. That's exciting. Also those two packages idk if you opened them or not but if you haven't you don't need to. You can just keep them boxed until I get home. It is just books I don't need anymore and then a lot of clothing items I still want!!  So they can stay boxed and not be given to the brothers!! I want them still when I get home.

There is definitely a different vibe. Puyallup at least the area I was in was all just residential and big nice homes. Federal way is the city so a lot more people and a lot of apartments and a beach and just a lot different. I like it.

Our apartment is pretty small but its okay. We are in cars. Zone leaders always have cars which is nice. Yeah just the same it's getting split June 30. Federal Way will be in the Seattle Mission. So most likely I will be going to the Seattle mission.

Yes I do have to go. I hope you all have a good week. I love and miss you all! Your awesomer!!
