WOW...I am a missionary once again! That's insane! I'm so blessed to be here right now to serve!
Westport, Washington! This little tiny beach town on the west coast of Washington. It's so beautiful! My comp is Elder Nelson from Syracuse Utah. He was serving in the Benin, Cotonou mission! (Africa)lol. We went out at the same time and came home at the same time. But he's super rad and we get along great.
Westports like the smallest little town and everyone is 60+ not joking. Haha so we definitely have our work cut out for us. Elder Nelson and I are so pumped to get things rolling here.
I'm excited because there's going to be lots of opportunity to serve. Suprisingly in South Africa we didn't have LOTS of opportunities to serve. But the branch president told us we'd be serving a lot.
We decided that we'd start called some of the people that have been taught befor COVID hit. We called this guy who got baptized right before everything shut down. His name is Vaughn and he's super cool! A bit out there but super cool. He lives right on the beach and surfs! He took us to a lady who he was helping to paint her house. Carmine, she's this older Hispanic lady who was drunk and smoking when we got there ahah. Walking through her house was on of the weirdest experiences I've had. Then she prayed for us and it was suppppper interesting! But I'm glad we can help her finish painting. Then he took us to the pier and said he'll give us a tour of Westport sometime this week so I'm stoked for that.
A spiritual experience I had this week was when we first got to the mission office we had a little discussion type thing. They asked up to fill a whole piece of paper with "The Book of Mormon and What it's Done For Me". The Book of Mormon has done so much for me! I just thought about how much I've learned from it the amazing stories and examples that are in it!
Love you all!
