Good morning Mom!

Yep I saw that Clayton and Rachael are getting married!!! When I saw the post I was like yooooooo and I got super excited haha! I had actually been praying for them just the other day and then I saw the news and it pretty much made my week! 11.22.22 is a pretty sick anniversary date!

Yeah, last p-day was super fun! Me and a bunch of the other elders went golfing and it was super fun. I'm going to attach a picture from golf below and I have more pics I just need to get them from other elders. I'll update yall on the teaching/proselyting in my group email later today. We have a zone activity this morning so I don't have a ton of right now. Unfortunately I haven't written in my journal for a couple of weeks cause when I get back to the apartment I just want to sleep haha. I can't remember if I told y’all last week, but I am living in a different apartment now with two other elders, Elder Johnston and Wardell along with my companion Elder Dell. Not really sure why we moved apartments, but it's fun living with more elders and the hot water in our shower actually works haha. One downside about the new apartment is that it’s pretty dirty, or at least it was until Elder Dell and I showed up haha. Elder Dell and I aren't really neat freaks, but compared to other elders we lowkey are haha. I am starting to see also that a lot of Elders really don't know how to take care of themselves like with laundry, doing dishes, or just even throwing trash away. I am super glad y’all taught me how to take care of myself because it makes missionary life way easier for me and Elder Dell has been very impressed with my cleanliness and independence. Sister Anderson, the housing coordinator, has even heard of me and Elder Dells reputation and she told us to thank our parents for raising us so well, so thanks haha.

So with transfers happening this week the zone pretty much stayed the same. My district has two new sisters and the other district has a new Elder and a new sister. Our zone leaders stayed the same, Elder Theurer and Elder Bair, which I was glad about because those Elders are super great! And my companion is still our DL. Because he's DL and he's only been in Yakima for a transfer he won't be leaving for a few transfers, so I'm pretty much guaranteed to go somewhere new next transfer. I guess that's all for now. Hope you have a great week! Love you Mom!
