Before I left Pasco I went and say good bye to the members and those that I have worked with while I was there.  I saw Max.  When I told him that I was leaving he seemed pretty sad.  He said that he would miss me.  He also got a little choked up and teary eyed before I left.  He also told me that I better come back and see him after my mission.  I guess he enjoyed having me around.

I also saw TJ, he was in the YSA, he likes his personal space and is not one to give out hugs at all.  The only missionaries that he has given a hug to was the one that baptized him, so when I went to tell him bye, he told me that I could pick out a tie to have (he doesn't do that very often).  Before I left his place he gave me a bro hug, which surprised me.  That made me feel like an awesome missionary.  I guess the members in Pasco really enjoyed having me.

Wenatchee is pretty, it's also chilly.  There is snow on the mountains to the north so it makes it difficult to bike around.  It will take some time getting use the area.   My first couple of days have been a little frustrating.  I'm still trying to figure out the area.  There is great member support though and they are excited about missionary work.
 My companion if Elder Smith and is from Orem, Utah.  He plays the piano and has traveled the world playing in concerts.

That's about my week.

Love,
Scott
