Last Monday I was unable to email anyone at all because as a zone we went and hiked Mt. Rainier. It was one of the most amazing hikes I've ever been on! It was so pretty! We left at 8 in the morning and didn't get back until 5, and then we had to go and buy groceries with the remaining hour that we had left. But it was totally worth the sunburn that I got.
Since then we've continued to work with a lady named Betty. I'm not sure if I've talked about her before, but she's a single mom of two young kids. She's been amazing to work with because she's very open and wants to learn and develop her relationship with God. This Saturday we were able to give her a church tour with fellowship from the ward, and she loved the tour despite being distracted by her two little kids running around and banging on all the pianos they could find. She actually lives outside of our area, but she's moving again so we're going to keep teaching her until we can find out which missionaries to refer her to.
On Tuesday we had exchanges and so I wasn't in my own area at all that day, but I had a had time with Elder Kirkland and Elder Hodge. On Friday we had a free car wash that we were doing just to do some service and try to reach out to people in a positive way. We had made a post for it on our Facebook page, and it got over 4,000 views! It was awesome! So we had a good amount of cars that we were washing.
This Saturday we got our transfer calls, and my companion Elder Jensen is going to be training a greenie here, so he's pretty stoked about that. For me they decided to allow me to make the big transfer home. So that's where I'll be this Thursday... home. So good luck to all those still out in missions and for those who are back home, I'll see you soon. Love you all!
