I got transferred to Ellensburg. It's a college town and the campus is in my area. I'm probably in one of the biggest walking areas in the mission. We do have a lot of members that are willing to drive us around because our area is so big. We also cover a town called Thorp, which is about a 10 minute drive from the highway. Luckily we get to use the other elders car on Thursdays so we can go to Thorp. We have a part member family out there that we are teaching. While out there on Thursday we found out that they roll their own cigarettes. We ended up taking a bag of tabacco from them before we left to help them quit smoking.
One of the 1st things we did when I got here was help a lady lay the floor in her house. That was fun. This past weekend was the biggest rodeo in the state of Washington and it was held here in Ellensburg. You can only imagine all the drunk people out walking around. My companion even got asked by a lady if he wanted to go back to her room with her for the night. We've also been mooned, so we try not to look around too much. I think most of this craziness with end after the rodeo is over. Oh, we also watched a guy throw a TV off his balcony and it exploded.
The less active member that I was working with in Kennewick for a long time was a little upset that I was leaving but he did say that he knows there is someone up here in Ellensburg That I need to find and help out. He even called me Wednesday night and said that he didn't realized how much he needed me until I left. He also said to call him every now and again to see how he is doing. After talking with him that night it sounded like Wednesday was a crazy day for him.
Well, that about it for this week.
I love you.
Love,
Scott
