I am so sorry to hear about Steven. That is what Max told me last week and I had to see if it was true. I am sorry to hear that it is. I am sorry for the family and will keep them in my Prayers. Who saw that coming?
Yes my companion and I love Mormon messages. We wish we had Ipads so we could watch all the videos on LDS.org in our downtime for fun. Its odd to hear about Seattle playing well. It seems like ever since I came to Washington the teams here are playing well. And yes unfortunately Seahawks football has started up again. If you would like to send me anything now is the time as this is my last week in America. I do not think I need anything but if you have things to ship make sure they get here before Tuesday.
My companion and I had an interesting week. We put an old guy on date for baptism in September who we met. His name is Terry and he is an older gentleman with health problems. He wants to join the church after we taught him the first lesson which was awesome. We just have to get him to church. We also went on a church tour with a lady named Alecia who will be baptized in September. I was hoping to stay here one more transfer as I think this area will have 5 baptisms next transfer if you count Becky and her two kids. We taught Becky and her two kids last night about the book of Mormon. I do all the talking as Elder Rice is one of the shyest people I have ever met. I love spending time with the guy but I have a hard time getting him to talk in lessons. Either way I loved the lesson as we talked about the old testament and even ended up talking about the 1/3 hosts of heaven who decided not to come to earth. Not something we usually teach people but they had lots of questions.
Also something interesting that happened. Remember how we were going to help that family do a water change on their 250 gallon tank? Well we planned to come over last Saturday until we got a text from them on Friday telling us how their tank had a leak and 200 gallons of Saltwater poured out all over their living room and seeped into their downstairs. Dad's worst nightmare. They managed to save all the fish and coral and we helped them out by connecting them to our neighbor with all the saltwater tanks who is the kindest guy and offered to hold all the fish and coral until they set up another tank. So on Saturday instead of doing a water change we helped them tear down the tank. They have to rip up the flooring and lots of other things. I cannot imagine the cost. Either way I was happy we could help but also happy at the end we got to leave and it was not our problem. Ha
So that's it for the week. This is my last week in the Wa-Tac. I leave on my 11-month mark so I will still spend most of my mission in Brazil. I am scared for the change but at the same time excited. I will put trust in the fact that change has almost always been good on my mission. I have been blessed to have great companions so far so we will see if my luck continues down in South America. I will give you guys a call from the airport but I do not know my flight itinerary yet so I will hopefully know for next week.
Lots of love,
Will
