July 28 2014

Hi,
In my new area in Cosmopolis I live in a duplex that is not owned by members. We live in the top floor of a fairly large home. My biggest apartment by far. There are 5 rooms which include another bedroom and a large living room. I will take some pictures of the place this week. Aberdeen is actually not too small. It is the biggest area I have had on my mission. It is a pretty run down town though with lots of crazy people and drugs. Not the nicest place to live. I am glad it is summer though because the sun is always nice to see. The weather has been good lately.

No I did not know Jarom Anderson but his name sounds familiar. Congrats on beating Mr. Reece. I never thought he was a very good teacher but I always like the guy. My new companion is younger than I by two transfers. He is obedient and willing to work which is nice. He is very quiet though so sometimes life seems pretty quiet. Its just him and me. The ward was cool on Sunday. Our Ward mission leader and the bishop are both radiologists which is still my goal in life so I look forward to having that conversation with them.

The work is actually better than I expected down here. We have a baptism of a 9 year old girl on Saturday which will be cool. We also found lots of new people to teach this week. We have a Ford Fusion with 1300 miles a month. I am hoping to find a bike soon though so we can save miles and have more things to do during the day. People say lots of Visa are coming through right now but I have not heard of anything in months.

My companion is from Snowflake Arizona. I wrote lots of information to my letter to mom so just have her share it with you. Yes that is surprising to hear about the weather there. The weather here has been great recently with the sun shining. Unusual for Gray's Harbor. Having a washing machine and dryer is always nice. I have not driven yet but due to the fact my companion almost got us killed I think I will soon take over the driver's seat. Anne should enjoy the concert. That is a really fun idea to take her I am sure she will love that. Does Kate plan on going to school after Mines? I wondered about this the other day. This town is kind of dumpy but I have met some cool people so far.

And yes I always wondered why the church funded BYU and that is the reason. They are basically investing in future church leadership. It is crazy Kate will graduate before I come home. Maybe if she gets a job she can pay for my college. Just kidding. I won't have to worry about that for a while. Thank you for the sports update. I cannot believe James went back to the Cavs. Who would have thought? I love quotes from old people like that.  Lots of love


Will
