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
