August 25, 2014

Well last Monday (my birthday)  was a pretty good day.  I had lunch with a family from Pasco.  They took us to a place called Azteca.  It was pretty good.  It was also good to see the family again and to see how they are doing.  They are surprised at how long I've been in Kennewick.  They would like for me to come and visit after my mission.  After lunch we went and played volleyball at the Stake Center.  After we played volleyball we went with a few sister missionaries to Dairy Queen and got an ice cream cake.

Dinner at Neil's was pretty awesome.  The elk was great.  He had us over again last week.  We helped him clean up the yard.  He fixed dinner for us and we had broiled teryiake stake, corn on the cob with rice and watermelon.  The ward had an activity that night, which was to help clean up around the high school.  So that day was very tiring day.  I fell asleep before 10.

The Ward that I am serving in is having a baptism.  The lady getting baptized in not someone that we have taught.  The sisters in another ward taught her, then she moved into our ward.  She didn't want to be taught by the Elders so the sisters kept teaching her.  She is the 2nd lady who either hates men or doesn't want be to taught by the elders for some reason.  It does get frustrating when silly things like that happen.

It has been pretty hot here.  The other day it was 107, but it's a dry heat.  We make sure to drink lots of water and try to find the shady spots on the side walk to walk under.  The other day we walked home from a p-day, the elders that normally eat with us showed up later in the car.  They were complaining how hot it was and they had to walk from their car to the house.  My companion and I just looked at them like really?

I found out Saturday that I'm getting transferred to Ellensburg.  So Sunday in Priesthood the bishop had me stand up and tell of some of the highlights that I've had while I've been in the ward.  After ward a bunch of people came up to me, shook my hand and told me that they appreciate me and all the work that I've done here.

That's about it for today.

I love you.

Love,
Scott
