Hi,

Sounds like you all had a pretty good week. It has been a wet week here in Washington which is not anything too surprising. I am in the car now which is nice but there are things about being on bike that are nice too.  I usually shower last which means I get the least warm water but it helps wake me up. We still do normal companionship study. 

I put some pictures from last transfer and of my new apartment on Dropbox if you want to look at it. I also saw Anne's presentation which I loved! We meet with our Ward Mission Leader on Saturday nights. He is a really cool guy just like my last WML. We have interviews with the mission President every other transfer. Our temple trip is April 17th and interviews are the 18th. General Conference is next week along with my birthday and my 6 month mark so April is an exciting month. 

We were supposed to have a baptism of some guy Elder Poulson was teaching and I helped teach the last couple lessons. He was way solid and about to get baptized until he texted us on Thursday and told us he no longer wanted to be baptized. He believes everything is true but his wife and mother combined against him and talked him out of getting baptized. It's a real shame because he was a really cool guy. Other than that not much happened last week. We found a couple new people to teach and got soaked in the rain. 

I have come to think that a mission is a nice break in schooling to slow down and think about who I want to be the rest of my life and what I want to do. I am glad to be part of this faith and have those examples in my life. We had a fireside last night and my mission president walked in a little late kind of like Maestro Junta always did for Youth Symphony. I thought of the difference between the two men. Both were very well accomplished men who had made a great deal of money in their life and were successful in having a family. They both presided over a bunch of kids. But President Weaver has a strong testimony of the gospel and a firm foundation of principles to live on. And that's what I want to be. Keep praying for my Visa.

Love,

Will
