Glad to hear the Seahawks won the Superbowl---everyone in Washington must be very happy!
I miss stuff like that sometimes,
but not enough to deter me. I'm doing good down here; it's been cold off and on
for the past week, but we've managed. Had some good lessons with two new
investigators last week too, so that's exciting---one guy is named Bill and a couple whose last name is Bells.
We did not have a snowstorm, haha.
There was really cold rain, but no snow. I was able to find rides from members
when it was raining, so I didn't have to bike around in that.
Today, nearly everything went wrong---ha ha. It was actually quite comical. We were about to go to the church to email
at 10:00 am this morning, but when we were about to get in elder Hansen's car we
realized there was a big eye-hook puncturing the car's tire.
We live a block
away from a Firestone, so we limped the car over there. They told us it would
take them two hours to change the tires.
Two. Hours.
So, we got a ride from the Chinese
speaking elders to go to the church while the car was worked on. But when we got
to the church, we found that the internet was down!
Soooooo then we went to Chinatown
and ate lunch with the rest of our district. I finally figured out how to use
chopsticks!
We were there until the car was done and once it was done we tried
to go back to the church after shopping, but the Chinese elders had left
and we had their cell phone for some reason so we couldn't contact them.
So now we're at the library
emailing. :P [They are not able to be online very long at the library]
The city I'm in is called Sugarland.
I'm near the mission office.
I've been out SIX MONTHS. SIX.
That 1/4 of the mission! It's gone by so fast for me. Craziness.
I'm still doing good down here; the
weather is pretty nice today. Ready for the visa to come through though :P
I'm starting to think
that Visa's are the stuff of myth, lol. It'll get here when it gets here.
I like the photos you sent Dad! Blackanne has
never been very enthusiastic about posing for pictures, haha. I like the
sunrise behind Mt Rainer.
Glad to hear you're all doing well!
I miss you, and I love hearing from you every week!
Love,
Elder Duffin
