Yes, Seattle is very excited to have their Sea-hawks in the
Superbowl. The town basically shut down for the day. We were out tracting
during the game but gave up due to people getting mad at us for knocking on
their door during the game. We ended up watching the last 3 minutes in some
guys garage on his tv. It was an impressive ending. I think Manning will get
the best of Wilson as the Seahawks have tended to rely on home field advantage
to play well.
It did not rain this week but was not sunny as usual. As far as
missionary work has gone we actually have had a very good week. We found 5 new
people to teach and who are now "progressing". So I am excited to
finally be able to teach people who want to hear what we have to say. So we did
teach 3-4 full lessons this week which was really nice. No one came to church
but we have potential.
I cannot tell when things grow because everything is
green here. Yes, I have given a couple blessings. I sent all my FBI stuff on
Wednesday and got fingerprinted at the Lacey police station. I had 60$ of msf
saved up but between shipping, paying the FBI, and the police station the
process cost me 50$. We usually go see less active people later at night around
7:30 or later as people in this part of Washington tend to go to bed pretty early. A lot of
people complain its too late when we knock at 5:00 pm. We do not go on
Wednesday nights to the church.
I am hoping the mission will let us watch the
Super Bowl because I can guarantee no missionary work will be done during that
time period. People are pretty crazy about the Seahawks. There were fireworks
and people screaming right after they won last night. I will be cheering for
the Broncos though.
I will send some pictures next week. I am hoping I stay
another transfer here. I have gotten pretty used to biking around the area we
are in. I went on a couple exchanges last week with missionaries in my
district. I always play them in chess and I have yet to lose. I have still got
it. ;-) I wish I could play Dad. I am very thankful for the times we played chess
and he taught me how to play. I bought a backgammon set that looks exactly like
the one Dad bought me all the years ago. I will send a pic. Remember when we
lost that piece in the cabin at Pella?
My new guess for my departure date is
March 21st. But things are not too bad here. Thanks for the updates from home,
I love you all lots, Anne is quite the smart child isn't she? Its nice to get
emails from her and Kate.
