"Can I Rent a Car?"

This was another interesting week in the Washington Seattle Mission Office. We are getting ready for Zone Conference next week and we also have transfers coming up. So things are really picking up.
There was a car that broke down and I had it towed to a dealership. When the missionary found out his car would be in the shop for 2 days he asked if the Church would get a rental car. Of course the answer is no. It is just kind of funny the dumb questions you encounter from other missionaries.
 
Elder and Sister Greensides left for home. They both gave good talks in the ward that they attended. It was a bittersweet goodbye for them. They will truly be missed. They were great missionaries!
Last Saturday the Bellevue Stake had a luau. This stake does more activities than any other stake I have seen, probably because the people here have money, but still. They had a roasted pig, hawaiian ice, and hundreds of cupcakes. I saw some of my friends from Issaquah 5th like Anne and Sue. Every time I see Anne she seems like she is doing better. It keeps on being a testament to me on how the gospel changes people. Last October she was in a really low point in her life, but as she has more fully lived the gospel, she has been blessed.
 
The Stinsons and Sue and her husband Adrian met. They both have similar interests and love the outdoors and are very active outside. Hopefully they both become better friends with each other. As soon as I met the Stinsons, I thought that they would be good friends.
 
Things are slow right now. Hopefully things start to pick up, but for now we have the office, which takes up most days and evenings. So we keep busy, just not with real missionary work. Hopefully I'm blessed when I get out of here.
 
The Church is true!
