Hey fam bam!!!!

So this week was so crazy, I got transferred into the Hazel Dell Ward
in the Van West Zone and my new companion is Sister Rebekah Richards.
She is from Holiday, Utah and had been out one month longer than me!
She is 19, went to Utah State for a year, is an artist, and is the
oldest of 5.

Dang I don't even know where to start. I got transferred and that's
basically where I'm at. Haha we live in a members home, in their
basement actually. We have the whole bottom floor to ourselves which
is nice. They are in Hawaii visiting family right now so I haven't
even met them yet. Haha.

Oh and my address is 6822 NE 17th Ave Vancouver, Washington 98665.

Thursday's in this area we do service at an indoor soccer place. We
clean their windows and in return we get to go and have our pdays in
their arena. It's a pretty good deal!

Omg, but my first day here was crazy! We went to this appointment and
they offered us some spaghetti and we thought oh yeah, that's fine,
you can't mess up spaghetti....WRONG! Hahaha they had beans in the
spaghetti!!!!! Omg I was dying, it was so gross! THEN for dinner we
had beans in our salad and also in our soup! Like what the heck!?
#beanoverload!!!!!! Oh boy I was so sick that night, I hate beans so
much!!!!

But this week was just crazy, I have met so many people and I am a
little overwhelmed because I still don't know anyone! Lol and church
was even crazier!!!!

I had to get up and bare my testimony and you would think I would be
use to it by now, but NO! Haha I was so nervous and I probably sounded
like a weirdo! Lol

So I'm really sorry, I know his letter is super short but today has been crazy!
Went to Buffalo Wild Wings and it was the bomb.com! I haven't been
there in like 5 months! Oh man I loved it! Then we went shopping at
target, kohl's, bed bath and beyond, and then we went grocery shopping
and then we had to go to a members home to help her with a project and
she ended up giving us French manicures!!!! Hahah it was pretty funny
but I'm so stressed out because I'm trying to hurry up and write this!

I still just can't get over the fact that mom and dad were in my home
and visited with sister Schott! CRAZY! Lol

Hmmm, oh yeah, so yes sister Finn and I are in the same zone and same
district so I will get to see her every Wednesday at district meeting
and on pday and when we do service at the soccer place. So that will
be super fun! I'm excited!

I love you all so much and I promise next letter will be better!!!!
Miss you guys tons!!!!!

Xoxo
